Your A/V cable could be really screwed up, or is getting some sort of interference from other cables near by. Try an older or different TV. Also maybe wiggle the A/V connection on the back of the saturn to see if it is a lose port.

Dirty laser, failing laser. I'd try to clean the lens in a circular motion with a DRY q-tip.
Let me know if that works ;)
