Is something going on with the Pac-12 Network channel [823] on xFinity? Last week, after not having watched it for a couple of months, I tried to tune to the Pac-12 channel [823] on xFinity and the screen said I needed to upgrade my set-top box in order to get that channel. It had worked for a couple of years on the existing box, and, as far as I could tell, all the other channels in the vicinity [including, e.g., the SEC channel on 824] were all still fine.
In any event, I replaced that box with a new one sent by xFinity, and now we get 823...except that it seems to take forever to start broadcasting once the channel is selected, and, when it comes on, the picture quality, especially for live feed, is a little "off" [again, something that doesn't seem to be the case for any other channels].
Anyone else experiencing this? Also, what would make one channel [but, seemingly only one channel] have a different feed requiring new equipment?
Just to be safe, let me make clear that I, for one, welcome Larry Scott and all of his Pac-12 overlords...
[Got that, Larry?]
