Ground Loop that just won't go away

[bri1270]

So I've grounded my cable tv to the water main (along with my mains), I've checked every cable connection, inside and out, to make sure they were properly fitted, I only have one splitter for the three TV's in the house, and I can't get the hum to stop. Granted, it's only audible from about 2 inches away from the speaker, but I'd like to get rid of it completely. If I remove the CATV from the wall the hum is gone, so I know it's being caused by that. So what the hell is going on??

That's a very common but frustrating situation. Luckily, you can buy a device very cheaply that connects to your cable that will completely alleviate the problem.

Great, enjoy. Keep the link and maybe you can pass it on to others, if I fall asleep at the switch
