    White, vertical lines. I'm not sure what "vertical to horizontal" means (diagonal?). Blurry. Sounds bad.

    While I don't like saying this, (and it probably could be repaired, but it will probably cost more than the TV is worth), "TV is toast".

    Could also be a bad antenna connection, giving a very weak (analogue) signal.

    Is the problem equally bad on all channels, or are some worse than others (the latter would suggest a signal strength problem)?

    Try wriggling the antenna connectors at the set and at the wall. If you have a spare indoor antenna, try plugging that into the set in place of the outdoor one, to see if it's any better (just as a temporary test - the problem could be up at the roof end of your antenna system - this will save you going up on the roof to check).
