Eliminate system hum


I have a tube system I have set up next to my TV but now have a pretty good hum. I have tried all the usual thing to get rid of it. Any suggestions other than moving it away from the TV? Why does the TV cause this with tube pieces and not with solidstate pieces?

I had the same problem with my video side causing hum.
I put a passive filter between the video side, going into my main AV processor, then into the main amp.

The passive filter takes RCA's in and out, and it's called a "buzz off", by ROLLS. You can find them in Guitar Center or other music stores, guitarists use them to cut down hum.

It works well in stabilizing my system, as I run my video side into the audio side, through my Quad amp, for surround sound.
