Getting pixelation when playing a Blu-ray

Getting pixelation when playing a Blu-ray

When I play any Blu-ray disc, I get a regular band of pixelation running across the screen that messes up bott he audio and video. When I do a regular DVD, it happens sporadically but does not affect the picture (much) and does not affect the sound. Not sure if this is a repair worth doing or throw it away? New ones are running $299 so any help to save this will be appreciated!
