Hey Frenchy, after reading your post , man I got to ask you this one question, WHY! Why in the world would you wand to view a DVD on these old sets to begin with! These old tvs don't have the resolution and technology to produce the fine details these players can offer. Maybe for nostalgic reason just to see what it looks like, okay but come on.
Just my 2cents

And when they are on screen they give me a nasty sound buzz too. The picture and sound are gorgeous if not for these damn lines. If I turn the contrast waaaay down they almost go away... but then so does the picture quality!
I'm running the dvd signals thru rca cables into a little ac/powered video-to-rf gizmo and a coax from that to the tv's antenna splitter.
Am I stuck with this? Would maybe a different player not do this, like maybe an older one that has a coax output on it? I know this happens on certain broadcast channels but thought it didn't happen with dvds. thanks!
