Ok I have put in a few DVDs and some haven't worked. They have frozen, shown heavy pixels (or whatever they are called), and jumped. However, after repeated viewings this doesn't exactly at the same point (same scene yes, but not same point).
I put one of the DVDs in another player in my house and it works fine. I have switched out players, cords, and RF thingy on the other one but it stills acts up. What can be the problem?

Get a lens cleaner. They're less than $10 at Walmart/Target/Best Buy, and even if they don't fix the problem with that player, it's good to have one on hand anyways.

I sympathize, lovingway. I bought a Magnavox TV/DVD player in July and it is already taking a crap on me when it comes to playing DVD's, specifically freezing up a lot and being hard to restart. I intentionally got a Magnavox thinking this was a decent brand. I tried the lense cleaner with no good results. I'm inclined to think the reason is that DVD Players Are Crap Nowadays.

What is weird is that I have watched two discs after posting this and both went off without a hitch. I put one of the discs I had a problem with in another player and it jumped during the same scene (not exact moment though) as well. So I am taking that back and getting it replaced, just to see if it was just the disc
