Do you happen to have a gigantic magnet in your house? That could do it.
It's probably just a case of the old tv giving out though. Mine did pretty much the same thing with the line across the middle. It seems funny, but I literally got a week or so more use out of it by smacking the side of it and the picture came back temporarily(anywhere from a minute to a couple hours).
