Ground Loop Humm/Buzz from Television


Hello:

Any suggestions on the following: I have noticed a humm/buzz in my speakers that I suspect is some kind of ground loop. However, it appears ONLY when the television itself is on and disappears when I turn it off. I tried lifting the ground on the tv (which, by the way, is tied to a properly ground satellite cable/box) but to no avail. I haven't found any precedent in any of the archives so any thoughts out there?

Thanks.

Just a guess, but, maybe your properly grounded satellite is one ground too many. Forgive me if you already know this, but, you should have an odd number of ground connections. Perhaps a cheater plug on your satellite/cable box might be the trick. Good luck.
