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?

Likely a ground loop as stated by Kdbrink above. There are several solutions, but the easiest is the addition of a ground loop isolation box (like the Mondial Magic). They run about $80. Happy Listening.
