It could be an HDMI handshake problem between your cable box and your display. The simple way around that is to change either the cable box or the display and see what happens, ie borrow a different cable box (even just a different model from the same manufacturer) or a different display and hook them up and see what happens. If that gets rid of the problem then it's almost certainly a handshake problem.

The other solution may be simply to route the HDMI connection through an AV receiver. I had a problem with the HDMI connection between my previous settop box and my TV which went away when I connected via an AV receiver instead of direct so that the TV was handshaking with the receiver rather than the settop box. My handshake problem between the settop box and TV only occurred for that settop box with my TV, not with a different model TV from the same manufacturer and also not with a different settop box from that same manufacturer and my TV.

In my system I prefer HDMI over component but it's a very, very small difference that I wouldn't worry about either way.
