Hooking DishNetwork receiver to amp=speaker noise?

I tried to send the audio outputs of my Dish Network receiver to an input on my integrated amp and it causes some low level speaker noise even when I don't use that input. The same happens if I hook the TV output to the preamp.
Normally things are dead silent with my CD players.

So I gave up on this idea (don't want to contaminate my good equipment which is for music first).

Any idea of the cause of this or any solution?

Another vote for a ground loop issue. I have had my (various) Dish receivers hooked to my stereo for years and have never had any issues you speak of.

I have also used the digital out on the back of my Dish receiver and ran it to my DAC. The sound was a touch better, but nothing spectacular; I was using it for the satellite radio stations and they are compressed.
