Default Tivo, HDMI, and noise

I have Tivo HD (and a 46" 1080p tv set), and it seems like the picture
coming out from the Tivo HDMI source has more noise in the image than
when it came directly from my OTA antenna. In other words, what used
to be solid green or solid colors now appear to have tiny variations
due to noise. Is this caused by the HDMI cable? Is this caused by
the Tivo box? Am I imagining things? Any help would be appreciated.

I forgot to mention - I'm using a 2' cable (very short)

Just curious... at what point does a D/A conversion take place
when recording OTA signals to an HD TiVo?


If you are using the HDMI output, the answer is "never".
The ATSC signals are converted to analog when they hit the
component or composite output connectors, completely past
the recording and playback steps.
