VOD Movies Freezing - Pixelated

Recently the movies I am renting via VOD periodically freeze for a few seconds and/or during the movie the scenes frequently "tear" or become pixelated on parts of the screen.  What's going on?  It's very annoying. 

Thank you,

Powercycling the set-top box  (unplug) for about a good minute [and then wait until the time is displayed again before trying your picture] should temporarily clear this up, A call to tech support at 1-888-553-1555 will also temporarily clear this up, who would do the same thing over the internet (stb reload) BUT the base issue causing this is a communications\CABLE issue.  You need to re-seat all coax connections by simply unscrewing both ends of each coax cable one at a time and immediatly screwing them right back on, snugly.   This re-seats the end connections and clears the issue.  NOTE:  you may need to do this to each cable in the line, back to the splitter, back to the Optical network terminal.
