No Video First Thing In The Morning On Our Hitachi Plasma 42hdt20 -a

When we turn on our TV in the morning we have sound but no video. After several attempts unplugging, waiting 20 or 30 minutes and plugging back up, it finally turns on. It stays on all day and then the next day the same thing happens. We have a Model #42HDT20-A HITACHI Plasma Television
