That's known as tiling and it's a problem with the cable usually caused by
a low signal and/or problems with your digital box. If you do not
have a digital box, then it's just the signal.

If you have a digital box, take it in and exchange it. If not
a tech needs to come out and find out what your signal levels are
and make any corrections to boost them. Too many tv's in the house
may also cause low signal which would require an in-house amp.
