merry christmas everyone dedicated lines..????


hello. i have 2 dedicated lines, one for the tv and one for audio. i am having some difficulty with my AC. i'm trying to address a ground loop hum due to my cable service. however that is not my question today. how it possible, with dedicated lines, that if my wife uses a hairblower in a bathroom three floors up i get hum bars across my t.v. and a terrible buzz through my stereo. i suspect the lines are not actually dedicated. any insight would be greatly appreciated. thanks, d.

it sounds to me like you don't have dedicated lines....electricians are helpful but sometimes take the shortcut and just don't do it. if you truly have dedicated lines that have twenty amp circuits with proper use of shielded wiring from your box then you should not have any noise from anything unless the lines are lying across others and that is a no no.....it's tough to check your lines back to circuit box, but they should be labeled dedicated lines in your box for tv and audio....electricans can be helpful but harmful and you give them your money.....be careful and fully explain what you want to electricans
thanks guys. the reason i am unsure is because i cannot personally assertain whether or not they are. the electricians did not label any of their work in the box, so, short of plugging something into every outlet in the house and tripping circuit breakers one by one and seeing what turns off when, i can not know. any suggestions on what step tp take next would be greatly appriciated.

Dedicated isolated lines are not hard to install yourself.
Basically Romex wire either 14/2 for 15A or 12/2 for 20A.
Connect the wire from the main panel to only one outlet.Running the Romex through the walls is the hard part,BUT there are available special plastic or metal trucks at the Home Depot designed to hide the wire for surface runs.You do not need to hire an electrician for a job like this,you do it your self and you know for sure ,you got isolated lines.I got a few 20A lines installed myself for my system,it was fun.
