There Are Horizontal Static Lines Running Through My Lcd Tv. How Do I Fix It?
There are several static lines running horizontal through my Panasonic LCD TV. The TV Signal is coming through a Tivo series 2 box and then into the TV. Please help! Thank you!

??? I’m going to guess that your signal source is a cable system and not an other the air antenna, but it would be helpful if you told us. Also, it would be helpful to know if you are getting these lines on all stations, or just some.
Let’s do a little troubleshooting here. Can you hook your cable directly to the TV and bypass the TIVO? I understand that you do not want to leave it this way and you may not have many channels, but lets just see if we have the lines when the TIVO is out of the system. Likewise, if you have a DVD player, it would be useful to know when playing the DVD, if you have these lines.
Clearly if you have the lines during these experiments, your TV is at fault.
If the lines are there only when the TIVO is hooked up, the TIVO is at fault.
If you have the lines even when the TIVO is removed from the system, but there are no lines with the DVD, then it is your cable signal.
