My TV screen has horizontal lines going through it

The TV screen has horizontal lines going through the middle of the screen - usually on one channel.

TV screen with horizontal reception.

Troubleshoot your TV:

• Check the equipment connections. Vibration from your TV can sometimes loosen wires. Disconnect your equipment (VCR, DVD or set-top box) from the TV and reconnect, making sure each connection is in tight.
  
  
• Check to see if other TVs (connected to different outlets) have horizontal reception. If they do, call the Verizon Fiber Solutions Center. If only one outlet is experiencing reception issues, check your equipment connections in the back of your TV. Make sure the cables are not loose or disconnected.
