I recently got the HP m8100n with Vista. Plugged in my cable TV (no box; just direct) into the box and started watching TV through Windows Media Center. My cable provider is Comcast.

While watching all channels, I get some freezing; which lasts from about a 10th of a second up to a second long. But the freezing happens sporatically, averaging once every three seconds. It happens when minimal processes are running. I changed out my monitor (other reasons) and have a new 5ms 800:1 product and still, same behavior. The audio is always flawless.

When I go to my "screen refresh rate" settings, it's on 60 hertz. My only options are 59 or 60.

Clearly, I'd like the freezing (or flickering) to stop. Can anyone help me out on this?
