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?

I went back to TWC and got a Samsung box and now the signals pass through the Sony DVD recorder with no problem.
I hooked it up to my tv using component cables vs the HDMI.
Picture quality is about the same but I still get the "hiccup" when switching between channels. Oh well, I guess I'll have to deal with it. I'm sure the folks at TWC are not worried about perfomance issues vs their security issues.
