If you're not getting audible "hum" as well, then I doubt it's 60 cycle emf. It sounds (looks?) more like RFI which might be coming from a digital device.

Also, I understand it's not cool to put a CATV isolator (like the ones sold by Audio advisor) on your incoming cable if you're getting digital channels, because it screws them up.

Try unplugging all digital devices except your cable box (especially DACs and computers,) and see if that doesn't help.
Swamp, how can we find out how isolate our system ground from the cable company without messing up digital channel reception? I could write to whoever makes the current crop of isolators and ask them (follow the money, which they're about to loose, right?) but I don't know who they are (I've always made my own ;~))
