Direct TV Audio Hum
« on: 25 Jul 2005, 01:39 pm »
My Direct TV receiver creates a hum in my system as soon as it is plugged into the preamp.  It appears to be a grounding issue.  Grounding the receiver to my preamp (Audio Research) does nothing.  Direct TV replaced the receiver and the results are the same.

An email to Direct TV Technical Support got a reply of turning off the receiver and turning it back on.

Anybody got any ideas?

hello,

the dish outside is probbly grounded to something metal and it needs to be lifted.

it dosen't matter that you grounded it to the pre. by grounding the sat reciever to the pre you are just making a bigger ground loop.

let me know what you find.
