RE: Is it HDMI or Time Warner - Update

Posted by Webnick on June 12, 2009 at 13:28:51:
Rebooting the cable box resulted in eliminating the black screen all the time, but still results in the black screen delay when switching channels.

David - Unfortunately, my Sony AV receiver is just a little too old because it has digital outs but no HDMI. Maybe we'll see if TW has yet another box to use (ugh - we must have changed boxes 5-6 times now in the last 2 years).

Mnilan - Never had a delay when using component cables - only happened when using an HDMI cable. Why is that?

PS - If the signal going into the cable box is digital, where does the conversion (DAC) take place? In the TW box or in the TV? Is either one better than the other?
