I've been using the M.A.G.I.C. ground loop isolator and splitter for months with great satisfaction. You may not need to go all the way to the big box.
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?
