Solution to a ground loop problem

Kr4 smacks the bullseye.....he hit the nail with every swing of the hammer. When the cable connections are clean and tight and when the incoming cable (and or equipment) is grounded to the same grounding system as your service panel, voila there is no differential.

Thanks all!!!! What'a team.....with quick, great responses. I already tried my cable company...oh boy was that a great experience, hold, hold hold...deny,deny,deny. "Not my problem man.." I'll try some of your suggestions, thanks.

Good luck with the cable company....been there, done that and no satisfaction whatsoever. Stay away form the "quick fix" like the cheater plugs and be sure to consider a product that will not weaken of your cable signal.

Keep trying. On the 3rd service call, I finally got a tech who, while first spouting the company line that ground loops due to an improper cable ground are unknown, listened to the setup and what I had to say. He then said, "What the heck! It will take me 10 minutes to redo the grounding." After he did, I proved to him that it was effective: No more hum.

I had the same problem you have and I solved it with the Mondial Magic Brick as Dollysowner did.
