Picture Isn't Centered On Tv Screen Using Hdmi Port.

Is there something I can do to correct this? I've already changed picture ration to 16:9 and adjust picture to Wide Full.  Is this a problem only with certain broadcasted channels? I'm currently using a Satellite TV provider.  I also did not notice this problem when I used COX cable, so i'm wondering if this is an issue wiith configuring my TV to align with settings of the Satellite decoder.

If the picture was correct with the previous cable box I would suspect the Satalite Box. Is the picture centered when using other inputs, if so Satalite Box.
