First check to make sure the incoming cable service is properly grounded to the electrical ground (water pipe or ground rod) of your house's power service. Call the cable company or an electrician if you're not sure how or what you need to look for. What you describe sounds like this may be the problem. It is also possible your electrical service may not be grounded properly.
can a power regen. eliminate ground loop hum etc?
hi all. i have 2 dedicated ac lines, one audio, one video. i am, however experiencing a somewhat nasty hum/buzz when my cable coax is connected to the system. i have tried lifting the grounds and plugging the amp into different outlets. the noise just gets worse.i also have the rolling bars up the tv screen. i was under the impression dedicated lines would solve this anyway. so, i now think i am in need of a power regenerator. are they capable of fixing such issues. the hum/buzz is always present but much much softer when the cable tv is not connected. any suggestions for particular products or manufacturers would be appreciated. thanks, d.
