It's good that you tried a different cable as that would have been my
first suggestion.  I don't see anything like this, and given you've
tried another cable, my next inclination would be to say try capturing
off of a totally different piece of hardware (ie, a DVD player, XBox
360, whatever) and see if things are different.  My thought is that
your current STB and the HD-PVR disagree in some fashion.
