Is it HDMI or Time Warner

Posted by Webnick on June 11, 2009 at 19:48:32:
Upgraded my cable connection from TW cable box to Mitsubishi WD-C657 1080P-capable DLP with otherwise appearing good quality Monoprice 1.3a Category 2 (24awg) HDMI cables and having problems: 1) initially, channel change caused screen to go black for 2-3 seconds (lived with delay; assumed delay necessary for HDMI or cable box or ?); 2) clicking noise from speakers using HDMI cable. So changed to second HDMI cable and clicking noise gone, but then: 3) screen eventually just stayed black. Never had these problems with cheap YPbPr cables. Changed to cheap composite and no problems. Is this an HDMI problem, TW problem, synergy problem, Mitsu problem? Any thoughts. Thinking to buy YPbPr cables tomorrow. Thanks.
