Default HD Cable Converter Box & Frozen Video

Background: In an attempt to solve a problem I've been having with my
standard cable TV converter, TWC sent me an HD converter - Scientific
Atlanta Explorer 4250 HDC. They think my problems stemmed from a
memory problem in their standard converter. There's 8Mb in a standard
box, 16Mb in an HD box. I do not have HD service or an HDTV.

Curent Issue: The first thing I noticed is that when I tune to any
station, the video is frozen for a split second and then movement
begins. It lasts just long enough to be noticable. This did not occur
with my standard box. Due to my ongoing problems, I've been given a
telephone number that takes me directly into Level 3 support. I called
the rep/tech and asked if this was normal for an HD converter. He said
it was, as long as it was for a split second and did not increase.

Can anyone verify that this is normal for an HD converter?

Thanks!

Hi,
Tried different TV set?

Hi,
My Panasonic plasma set does it. New Sharp LCD 45" does not do that.
