buzz/hum from tv

It is not the cable. I tried disconnecting it. The only time I have a hum is when the tv is on. The tv itself is making noise and the stereo just picks the noise up. It sounds like a real noisy tv tube. I plan on getting the tv checked out after the holidays. The tv is around 12 years old.

How close is stereo to the TV? Is it sitting right on top of the amp or pre amp? Does it need some room?

I sevice card access systems and was called out for a dead reader. Everything checked fine,except for the 17inch monitor on the other side of the wall backed up against the reader. I moved the monitor over about five inches and the reader started working. Big emf from them tubes.

EMF could be the problem. I have the tv as far away from the speakers, preamp and amplifier, but I'm limited on distance. I do plan on a new cabinet soon, but my first step will be having the tv checked out. This amp I have is 24"s deep most entertainment centers are 19-20"s so I might special order one.
Maybe I can move my tv back some and see if that helps.

Tim (Flemke), thank you for your note. It didn't help though (see below).

Paddlersean, like you, my TV is about a dozen years old too. My hum, however, is directly connected to the cable feed.

Comcast confirmed their cable is carrying a "very high signal", 20 . Normal is about 5-8, they say. The guy that came in yesterday brought along an attenuator. Using it lowered the hum some but didn't eliminate it. It however resulted in very degraded picture quality.

After eight weeks of this dance I finally gave up.
I cut my Comcast service.
Result? No hum. I don't have to worry about my speakers frying slowly in my presence and absence.
Side-effect? No cable service as well. I get to read, think, and do good more now! Oh, the $49/month savings is good too!

Comcast couldn't solve the problem. When I get around to it I am taking my money and account to DirectTV or Dish.

I live near O'hara airport and some of the attenuators and or groundfault isolators actually cause interference with the jets. I could care less about cable. My HT sytem only uses my EAD dvd player.
