I live in an apartment building, and receive TV using "rabbit ears".  I
noticed a similar problem with one channel.  The grey band was the
"black" band between frames of an interfering television signal.  It
scrolled slowly down (could have been up) due to a slight difference in
frame rates between the two stations.

After the "main" station shut down, the interfering signal became clear
enough to read - including the telephone number of the cable TV company,
as they were running a promotion.  I telephoned them, leaving a message
explaining the problem.  They never called back - but the problem went
away within 48 hours.

I suspect that you are receiving an interfering signal with almost the
same frame rate.  Could it be a similar system nearby?  Or a TV broadcast?
