Help- 60 cycle Hum - ground loop problem

Help,

I have a ground loop problem creating a 60 cycle hum in my system. I have been using "cheater" plugs on my components which eliminated the problem, but this is not the best long term solution.

Just this morning I decided to disconnect my TV cable from the source (i.e. where it enters the house) as advised by some savy folks on this site....poof like a miracle the hum vanished!

My question is there any type of filter I can install on my TV cable to solve this problem? Other suggestions? Thanks!

Bob Bundus helped me with the same problem. I took a piece of lamp cord and wrapped it around the center screw on an electrical outlet and cable tied it to the cable input on the wall (then screwed the coax cable from there into the HT system) and it successfully grounded the cable to house ground. I used a white wire so it doesn't show (very much)
