I have a HDMI splitter which splits my signal between my living room and my kitchen. I find that if I have the TV on the living room and then turn the TV on in the kitchen then the living room TV behaves like you mention. The fix for me is to toggle the kitchen TV over to the HDMI input. I think this send a HDCP message to say all is OK and the box then works correctly - both TVs can watch the TIVO - or watch freeview. Not sure how this might help - but it is possible it is a TV issue.

I should add that this was exactly the same with the V+ box before I had TIVO installed.
If you have no luck with the new HDMI cable it might be worth you if possible trying a different TV.

Hope this is useful.
