Time Warner Cable Converter box


I just got a new TWC digital converter box (Scientific Atlanta) with HDMI output. Hooked it up to my new Sony 46" LCD. Picture and sound are fine but the picture "hiccups" when I change channels! I tried using the R/G/B hookup and no hiccups.
Also, tried tapping output signal from converter box to my Sony DVD recorders inputs using S Video and analog hookups and got an "error message" that my tv will not output the signal through HDMI. Tried it with R/G/B and same results. DVD plays fine via HDMI when playing a recorded movie but the signal from cable box wont pass through the recorder.
Anybody?

2 things, Sony dvd recorders are TERRIBLE at recording
anything Digital.
Second, your cable box is using MACROVISION to
BLOCK your recording. You need to use a cheater box.
Just look at avsforum dot com.
They discuss this very issue.
