picture pinches in & rolls vertically w/satellite connection

When I hook up my Samsung Dynaflat TXN32HF tv to my satellite receiver (same receiver that worked fine for other tvs), you can hear and see all satellite channels, but the picture is squeezed in as if pinched on the sides (black half-circles w/3 inch radius) and these pinch marks roll vertically (the picture itself does not roll). This occurs with coax or A/V cables. When connecting a satellite box to the tv via component cables, there are no picture problems, but as soon as the audio cables are plugged in, the problem reoccurs.
A vcr works fine via coax or A/V cables, but if you try to run satellite through the vcr, the same problem occurs.
Thinking the problem may have been the TV tuner, I tried the tv with a local channel antenna, which caused almost unnoticeable rolling distortion (you really have to look for it)
Also, whether relevant or not, the tv caused the circuit breaker to break once or twice, and when (dis)connecting coax from the satellite to the tv a substantial shock can be felt (reflex causes you to let go quick, and hurts for a sec or two).
Thank you for any help!
