What causes cable TV picture to suddenly freeze for a second and then go back to normal?
I have Time Warner Cable with a High Def cable box connected to a Sony 50 in. HDTV.
Is this normal or is there a setting that can correct this?
I am thinking this is the nature of the beast .

The picture freezes but the audio continues without a glitch? I've seen it occasionally on my SD set with Dish.
This happens when the data stream is slow or interrupted. It can happen anywhere in the signal path, from network uplinks, to cable downlinks, to cable processing at the head end. (And in my case, the signal has two more up/downlinks.)
Bad weather is one culprit. North America has been experiencing some severe weather in the last couple of weeks.
If it happens regularly on all channels, suspect your system. The TV may have a "picture freeze" function that holds the last frame until it receives new data. Temporarily change the input from HDMI to component or even composite to test it. If it continues, suspect the cable or box.
