If the channel itself is taking that long to connect, it's probably a delay caused by the cable box.
It's taking a digital transmission from standard definition to high definition, and that may be inherent with the transmissions or the box.
It may be the same if you're using an HD Antenna through the ATSC tuner.

I'm having a problem when switching channels from high definition to standard definition and vice versa. It takes aprox. 7 seconds to switch. It is almost as though it has to search for the channel. My television is connected to a cable box with a HDMI cable. Any suggestions?
Thanks
