Why does my picture scramble?

Question

I changed from time-warner monster cable to hdmi, however, now when I change channels the screen turns colors and scrambles for 2-3 seconds then I get a clear picture. Tried second cable and it still happens, very aggrivating. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

That's kind of normal.  When you change channels, the stream of digital information changes and the TV has to have a bit of time to read the new stream and assemble the new picture.  Some sets just go to black during this process, others show the break up.  That's just the way it works.
