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 ;~))

Buy yourself a cheater plug from the hardware store.
First try it on your cable box or whatever you are using to send the picture to the tv. If that doesn't work try putting it on the tv itself.
Yo Jay,
Try to determine the path that your cable takes (from where it enters the house to the outlet that you connect your TV to) look for the possibility that it travels with AC power lines. Mine enters the house next to the meter and comes up through the same holes as the romex that runs to the receptacles.
This usually indicates that the electrician used the lazy-man's way of running the cable...he ran it thru existing holes that were drilled for the romex.

If your house has this, then the next call is to the cable company to have them run a new line from their splitter to your TV set.

That's excellent advice, and it's how I learned the trick about tightening the coaxial connections.

Sometimes the solution doesn't require the any money be spent.
