HORIZONTALLY?? are you sure you don't mean Vertically? Vertical roll would
be much more common, also if the roll is present with a signal from the VCR
then the tuner is innocent and the fault lies in vert oscillater. if the
roll is horizontal then signal line sync is being lost. It's still not the
tuner however which incidently will be in it's own little can. If sync
circuits are suspect there would be line tearing and not smooth rolling.
