Yes. I think it is due to the buffer catching up. Can I assume you get your cable and Internet from the same company?

I haven't noticed as such with Time Warner, but Verizon Fios was dependent on your internet speed. Meaning downloading a whole bunch of torrents while watching a movie on demand is likely not going to work.

I would put a heavy burden on my internet connection and see how the cable box performs. If it is pretty much the same, there's nothing you can do. But if your cable box has trouble retrieving on demand content, you may want to upgrade to the next tiered internet service.

The best bet is to use two different companies. However, if you are into downloading premium channel content and also are paying for it, don't expect to get any nasty copyright letters in the mail. They can put two and two together and don't care how you watch it once you are a subscriber.
