tv showing horizontal line

Sep 2, 2005 9:36AM PDT

My mother's tv, which is 10 years old, has started showing a horizontal line against a dark background at startup. After a moment the normal picture comes on. I have a feeling this is not good. If it needs repair any idea on costs? Thanks for any suggestions.
