Thank you for the many responses.

- I replaced the wall-wart power supply with a USB cable and a barrel 
connector. This seemed to be working well for the last month. I've 
switched back to the wall-wart to see if that helps.

- The component video cables are in the correct order. They have been in 
place for at least 9 months.

- The component video cables are fully seated in the cable box and on 
the HD-PVR.

- I am using the latest firmware and the performance of this HD-PVR had 
been solid for the past 9 months, this change is new.

- Sample images below were captured using mplayer. The first shows the 
issue the best:
