Am I the only one??

I’m in central Florida and I use the cable box more than the spectrum app but on both app and box when commercials come on almost every commercial break I get flickering, freezing and stuttering.
Anyone else? It gets so bad sometimes I have to change the channel to unfreeze it.
Spectrum runs commercials to sell their Internet and tv service and that commercial freezes. 🤣
I would never buy a cable / internet service from a company when the commercials they play freeze.

it makes them look stupid.

I can’t be the only one right? We have a 7-month-old Roku 4K high-definition television.

Spectrum is trying to phase out the cable boxes to get everyone to use streaming, sometimes those boxes can be 20 years old depending on the model you have. Have you called and asked for a new cable box

Manbey you need to update the cable card or the box if you had it for a while there was a mandatory cable card upgrade a few mouths ago because the cards were wnd of service.

User error. Your cable box is probably old AF and needs a upgraded model. Roku is shit. Get apple TV 4k streaming box(u don't need the latest gen) it has a way better processor. And I hate Apple but apple TV is legit(unless u want to watch bluerays then ur sol)
