A Dish subcontractor came out 2 days ago and changed some of the connections on the back of my 46" Sharp LCD to eliminate the slight popping sound I got every time I changed channels and the rare occasion when the entire screen would go yellow-green and blank.

The above problems were fixed by connecting the satellite receiver directly to one the TV's HDMI inputs but connecting my combo DVD/VCR player/recorder to both the receiver and non-HDMI input using composite (red/white/yellow) cables.

Now when I change channels the identifying title bar of the new channel comes up immediately, then disappears while the entire screen goes black, and the new channel appears about 15 seconds after I originally pushed the Recall button on the remote (it's the same if I punch in the desires channel's number). This is true whether or not the channels are HD or not.

The picture is just as good as the previous connection. Is the lag due to the composite cables then?
