Even before i got the X1 system, I've had non stop choppy video/picture/audio on certain channels when using my internet at the same time (airport express). it only happens on certain channels (MSNBC, History, Science and Food Network). whether its live tv or a DVR recording, the picture is extremely choppy and gives me tons of errors on the screen. if i run an internet speedtest while watching live tv, forget it. on the uploading test, the tv picture tiles and freezes until the test is done. this even happens on the DVR, recording shows while i sleep, not even using the internet. Comcast is no help, sent technicians at least 4 times, and every time, everything tests perfectly normal. all cables, modem, set top box and signal strength are all perfect.

I'm beginning to think its the airport router. how could this be interfering with the cable tv signal, and only on certain channels? I've tried changing frequencies to 5 Ghz manually and even channels and the issue still happens. anyone else ever have this happen?
