Having a variance in DVD playback quality

First time poster, new to Vegas. Thank you in advance for any help!

I've recently finished burning my first DVD set (3 playable DVDs with menus) and played them on both of the TVs at my house and it worked great. I then took it to the clients' for playback and it was super pixelated. I'm trying to see if I can track down what the issue is in hopes of resolving it relatively quickly.

Originally shot on a Canon 70D DSL, edited in Adobe Premiere, exported in mpeg-2. Burned on DVD from Architect with 8.00 Mbps Bit Rate at a 16:9 Aspect Ratio, 720x480 Resolution, and a Frame Rate of 29.97.

The client's set up is a VIZIO E-Series 60” Razor LED™ Smart TV with a Panasonic DVD Home Theatre System

My TVs are a Vizio 37" Class LCD HDTV and an Emerson 50" Class 1080p LED LCD TV, both with Sony Blue-Ray/DVD Players.

I understand that logically it may be slightly more pixelated with the size increase, however it's a pretty dramatic difference. Either way, any insights on why this is happening and/or how to fix it?

Since it is good on at least one monitor, you know it is not the DVD. I would look at the connections. Make sure they are using the best quality (either Component or HDMI)

We tested several other DVDs on his player to check to see if that might be the issue and the others were all very crisp.
