Wdtv now displaying in 480p resolution instead of 1080p

Ive had my wdtvlive smp since it first came out. In the past its always worked like this. 

At the first splash screen it displays at 720p then when the second spash screen displays it would switch to 1080p and stay there.  Now for whatever reason the first splash screen displays at 720p then when the second spash screen displays it goes to 480p.  Anyone one else having this issue?  Im thinking maybe after a firmware update at some point may have caused this and im now just noticing it?  Right now im running latest.

Have you tried resetting to factory defaults in the setup menu and unplugging from power for a couple of minutes.

Silly question perhaps but have you tried changing it back to 1080p in the SETTINGS?

For some reason my SMP doesn’t properly detect 1080p on my HDMI connected Panasonic TV and only shows 720p at boot. I’ve changed it to 1080p myself in the settings menu but each time my SMP crashes or I do a reset it reverts back to 720p.

Is there even an option for 480p? I will have to check that myself later!
