Ground loop fix

[Evan]

I have found that I have a ground loop hum and hum bar that is coming from my satellite receiver. I have been able to get rid of the audio hum using a Radio Shack ground loop isolator (audio). I was curious if anyone has had the same problem and what they found for getting rid of the scrolling horizontal bar (video)?

Thanks, E

I have been having trouble with my sub. It will start humming. I can unplug the coax and it will quit or I can turn the reciever off and it will quit. The sub still works while it is humming. Is this a ground loop problem?

yes thats a ground loop

How do I fix it. It does not do it all the time, mostly when I'm playing it loud? I have tried to plug it into a different outlet.

I got rid of the audio hum using a ground loop isolator from Radio Shack($6.99). It's for home or car audio.
I just need to figure out how to get rid of the video "bar" ?
Has anyone used a power line conditioner, would it help?

RS should have a similar ground isolator for the antenna cable. That is where it should be done first.

DID YOU EVER GET RID OF YOUR GROUND LOOP HORIZONTAL VIDEO 'BAR'? I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.

Thanks.
