Direct TV causing hum in audio system

Hello,

I'm experiencing a humming problem when I integrate my direct tv into my audio system. When I disconnect the satelite cable, the hum goes away. Am I experiencing a ground loop? Is the solution to ground the satelite dish? (I had the dish installed free as part of a promotion.) I heard cable tv can cause this problem and wondered if satelite tv is any different?

Had the same problem guys!

The issue is that these darn dish people DO NOT RUN a ground from the dish to the house ground. This is MUXT HAVE!

I hae seen over 50 systems since it took me months and $100's of bucks to fix mine too!

Everyone with hum, make sure that your house polarity is correct, and that all equipment has a solid ground.

good luck!
