Look at the sync pulses of the set top box. If you try another set top box, does that remove or subdue the line?
Switching the channel provides no improvement nor does switching the box as I have run it through both my S-VHS player and Betamax player, both exhibit the same issue.

This will take some looking into as I have not experimented much with what you suggest. By the CRT Grid, are you referring to the control grid portion of the CRT?
