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?

Thanks for the expertise. I've been having the same problem in connecting my Dish Network to the A/V system, but only when I hook up my Toshiba S-VHS VCR to it. Using my naive knowledge of electric wiring, I thought it would be a bad choice to put "cheater" plugs on all or many of my system's AC power cords. Is there any danger to using the plugs? I'm also using a Panamax 1000, but I haven't had any luck using the coax inputs on that.

Enjoy the Experience.
