EVAL-ADV7842-7511 Noise Interference lines

Hi, I have a EVAL-ADV7842-7511 Board which I'm using to decode CVBS signal from a Laserdisc player.

I have an issue where I'm seeing faint diagonal lines across the image. These are present on all of the input formats 10Bit, 24Bit and 36Bit and is also present on the s-video input. 

It it looks almost like interference. I've tried multiple cables and players and all produce the same results.

Any idea what is causing this?

many thanks

You can connect to the ports via a terminal emulator.  We use TeraTerm set for 115kbaud, 8bit no parity.  All commands are just plain ascii text strings.  Enter 'help' to get the list.

The -5P board does not start the repeater software at power up.  It was meant to be script driven.  You can enter 'startrep' to get it going.

I'm not sure what's really going on here.  We don't see those type of lines.  The UK is a 50Hz country, I am wondering if there is some kind of beat frequency going on since you see the same problem with a DVD player.  Can you do a quick check with all the lights off in the room.  LED and fluorescent lamps can sometimes flicker at the power frequency.  The eye doesn't see it but a beat frequency between the TV and lamps might introduce weird line.  This is just a quick and easy check to rule that out.

Also you say the the lines aren't there when the 3D comb filter is turned off.
