It did. I found a solution which was somewhat extreme.

I stripped the A/V cables off of everything and ran it all again. I took the automatic switch and the VCR out of the system completely. I was only using the VCR as a channel selector for the cable. Without the VCR, there was no need for the switch.

The TV, despite being nearly 11 years old, has RCA and the standard cable connectors on the rear. So, the cable went where it needed and the DVD player went to the RCA's. The remote for the TV has a button to select the source. Simple.

I found one A/V cable lying on the floor behind that was connected to the back of the switch on one end. That makes for an antenna. Taking that off helped a lot, but didn't resolve the issue. I think the tuner in the VCR has issues also. It's ancient.

So far, so good.
