It isn't so much the non-broadcast source but the instability of the horizontal time base on video tape recordings. It could also help to adjust the back tension of the tape a bit.
I second trying the highest preset. I used to have a Pye Studio Colour set from the 1980's, and it did this. I can't remember the model of mine but it was a basic, non remote control set, with a 20'' screen. Channel 12 which was the last of the presets was the VCR channel on mine. I remember the power switch stuck on mine too and having to switch it on/off at the mains.
