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.

One dedicated line for your audio? that means you have your digital and analog on the same "dedicated" line? You are not truly isolating. You really want a dedicated line for your analog and one for your digital. If both are on the same line, you won't be reaping the advantages of true dedication..warren :)

thanks everyone. i will try all your suggestions, work on the lines myself and start tripping breakers. i'll do like a couple rooms a day, slow and steady will win the race! anyway warren, i have the tv, dvd, and cdp, in one outlet and the anaolgue gear in the other. i think that is the correct way to set-up, yeah? thanks again all, will post results...
