The weird lines you get probably come from something called interlacing. If it looks like pic related then it is. The problem is, if the video is interlaced, often that's because it's saved that way in the file (important note: many DVDs have interlaced video too). There's also the possibility, if your video output is 1920x1080, that your TV only supports 1080i (i for interlaced), in which case the problem is with your TV.
There's a couple solutions: If your TV supports 1080p (or you're using 720p) the best is to get progressive video of what you want. AFAIK most Bluray discs are progressive, especially discs of films. However, lots of American HD broadcasts are 1080i, which means you might be stuck with interlacing in some situations. Which brings us to the next solution.
If you must play interlaced video, you can play your video using something called a deinterlacer. Deinterlacers take interlaced video and make motion in it look as smooth as possible. I recommend playing interlaced video on your computer with VLC Media Player and selecting Video -> Deinterlace -> Yadif.
If your HDTV is only 1080i and not 1080p compatible, then you have two options: set the resolution to 1280x720 or get a 1080p-compatible TV. In this case it really depends on how much the extra resolution over 720p is worth to you.
