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've got a similar problem, but worse. I can't get the HDMI output of my Scientic Atlantic box to sync with my Sony TV at all. I had to revert to the component connection. The HDMI output of my Sony DVDP works on all HDMI inputs just fine.

Curious if you guys think I might have a faulty box or are synce issues common?
