The audio was glitching yesterday afternoon on Comcast, during commercials as well as programming.

No issues if you use an antenna, free tv the picture quality is better, get many additional channels too. Sad people pay for free tv through a service and it has issues.

Back in April of 1976 till late May of 1978, I had a TV that glitches (blue lights) that would flicker on the TV screen!! That is when I was 10 & 1/2 till 13 years old because my late dad could not afford a brand new TV set until he got one Curtis Mathes from Dambro's in Saginaw back in late May 1978!!!

What happened back in April of 1976, my older brother watched the rerun of "Monty Python's Flying Circus" on PBS (either channels 14 or 19) at 11:00 Saturday night. Then it was another program on at 11:30 & then at 12 midnight, signed off for the night. The TV was on blank until my other brother shut the TV off at 12:45 that Sunday morning!! Then Sunday afternoon, the TV was flickering with blue lights & could not get it fixed because my parents did not have the f--kin' money!! In late May of 1978 on Friday night, I was watching "The Osmond Brothers TV Special" on ABC 12 (minus Donny & Marie & Jimmy) but there was 10 minutes to go at 8:50 in the evening until my late dad moved the old flickering TV set to put in the "Curtis Mathes" TV in!!
