This can also happen with the audio jacks. I had this problem and bought
little adapters that you plug between the cable cable and the cable socket
in the wall. The idea to get the company do something about it is good.

You could also get very strong hum if you accidentally plugged into the video 
ports rather than audio on the TV.

I get a constant 60 cycle hum. I understand that a ground loop isolator might 
help this situation. Can anyone recommend one or point me in the direction of 
where I can buy one?

If you've got cable, make sure the cable company fitted an
isolated outlet. They should do anyway, but if you haven't got
one ask them to fit one.

YOU USE to be able to get one at radio shack but I ordered one from amazon a

They run about $12 us so get the best one you can find for around that 
price.

Hi all, when I plug the audio out (two rCA jacks) from my TV into my mixer I 
get a constant 60 cycle hum. I understand that a ground loop isolator might 
help this situation. Can anyone recommend one or point me in the direction 
of where I can buy one?

Thanks

I had the same problem when I ran a line from the headphone output on the TV 
to my PC. I dindn't know which of those things to get on Amazon but I knew 
that with Comcast they don't ground their lines correctly and that is where 
the hum comes from. so I unscrewed the cable connection until the hum went 
away. so I have no idea if there is a picture but since I am the only one 
that uses the TV it doesn't matter. So the cable connection is just stuck in 
enough to get sound but not enough to get the hum.

RadioShack sells ground loop isolators for use with RCA hookup, or look for 
the Art Cleanbox, or Behrenger hum destroyer. you will have to adapt the 
latter two units from quarter inch standard phone to RCA jacks respectively.
