ATT Uverse, New Samsung 42" plasma: wont stay in Wide-zoom mode

Ok, it's bugged me enough to post a thread on it...Samsung can't help me (yet). Here's my issue.

My new garage TV is a 42" 1080p Samsung plasma, getting a cable source (non-HD) via an HDMI from my ATT Uverse cable box.

Picture it WANTS to display is about 30" or so, cropped on all 4 sides. If I go through either the screen size via Menu, or hit the Screen Size button on the remote, I can go to Wide-zoom which gives me a non-distorted 42" image which is what I want, but exactly 30 minutes later (I've timed it 2x) it'll default back to the 30" cropped screen again.



I've tried some varied outputs from my cable box & will try more tonight: but anyone have any other ideas?? I'm about to sell it & grab another brand...arrrg.

Mark
