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?

If you have an optical input available, try that.

Optical won't complete the ground so no 'loop'.

Now, on the Dish receiver, go to the menu and 'system setup' than 'audio setup'.
Get rid of the night volume leveling and set output to PCM only.
