    HD Tivo Display shaky, horizontal lines

    HD Tivo two years old. Display works, but is getting lots of horizontal lines about 1-3 pixels high that are dark or light and very rapid. Best way to explain is that it looks like the cords are loose and not connected well. Very pronounced on the Tivo menus and happens on both live and playbacks.
    Have narrowed it down to the Tivo by process of elimination including different cables, different TVs, RCA vs. Component out, and trying the unit in another house.

    Tivo's solution is.. you got it... buy another unit. Can really use some help for self diagnosing and/or remedy for this.

    It sure sounds like interference. I assume when you brought it to another house, you did not use your surge protector or anything like that. Did you try a different power cord?

        FiOS shouldn't hurt, if you didn't plug it in.

          did with two other power cords in two spots in the house yesterday. same problem. racking my brain, as we added no new electronics to the house to cause this. any other ideas?

            So same unit in another house does the same thing? Then it's got to be the unit. Maybe try a new power supply? We have replacements here:

              really want to isolate problem before i started replacing parts. is there anything i can test inside the unit to isolate more?
