TWC Shimmering Picture (Especially with On-Screen Crawlers)

My picture is clear and sharp, but today I notice a lot of shimmering on BOTH SD/HD stations with "crawler information" at the bottom of the screen.  Moving words, containing sports or news information will shimmer across the screen.  On stations without news or information crawlers the problem is less frequent.  However, there was occasional shimmering of the picture during an episode of Friends on both TBS and TBS HD.  This may relate to the digital transition.  Anybody else have this issue?  Either with or without TWC?

Problem was solved with a box reboot. Some data may have been sent to it during the all DTV transition update, and the box needed to refresh itself to synchronize the scrolling with the picture.

The DTV Transition only affected OTA analog stations and has nothing to do with Cable or Satellite. Cable and Satellite providers have been using the local digital stations for months (maybe longer). Methinks your box went goofy.
