First "issue"...sudden stretched aspect ration on new Plasma

70.253.38.123

Referencing my new Panasonic HT-50XX60U Plasma set...
My picture on HD channels seems to have streched horizontally a bit. Yesterday, when i first set it up, i could see the HDNet and Discovery HD logos in the lower right corner in their proper place and fully visible and all images appeared to be in their proper aspect ratios. The same could be said for earlier today.

Well, all of a sudden tonight while viewing the screen seemed to stretch out a bit. This occurs in all modes, specifically in the FULL Aspect mode, which should be the proper ARatio for channels such as HDNet and DiscHD. The faces appear stretched and the clincher was when i saw the logos appear again in the lower right hand corner. This time 1/2 to 1/3 of the logo is off of the screen. I tried all ARatios and i get the same "stretchy" effect. Is this my cable provider screwing up(Charter) or is it something with the set?
