Maybe better worded as Horizontal Control Lines.  The lines stretch
across my screen from left to right and 'wobble' up and down, giving
the fast-foward appearance and cutting out audio.  The TV is a new
Samsung DLP 61" monitor, works great normally, displays HD
beautifully, it's just the mpeg4 recordings done with a WinTV Go card
(a bt8x variety, not a PVR).  I am really leaning towards a channel
error, but how do I fix it?

Thanks!
