When I switched from DVI/HDMI with star choice to straight HDMI with my shaw PVR I did notice a longer delay (1-2 seconds) on the picture showing up when I turn my TV on. It was at that time I switched to the 2 buck cables from Monoprice ( Like you, I bought 4 of them since they were so cheap).

Is this the issue you are having? I always assumed it was a difference in the DVI and HDMI standard that caused the delay.
