I just switched from a componant cable to HDMI on my HD DVR to my HDTV?

Question

Since the switch, I am getting a delay when I change channels between HD channels and the "normal" channels. Is this normal?

Answer 1

Hi Brian G.

There is a delay while the system determines your channel.

Now that channels can be three numbers the system has to hesitate.

For example, if you enter a lone 3 the system waits to see if you want channel 3 or will add more numbers, then finally changes to 3.

Annoying but I am getting used to it.

Yes HDMI often has a few seconds of delay when changing channels with different resolutions it has to "sync" again.  HDMI also has compatibility problems sometimes, but if you can live with the delay then no worries - it's normal and you didn't do anything wrong.
