Satellite installers tend to be guys with a spool of RG6, a bunch of
connectors and crimpers, a level and a peaking meter. Most know how to
mount a dish, connect it to a switch, and aim it. End of story. Some
may be better, but expect most to be along the lines of the above
described person.

Only if he doesn't know what he is doing, which describes 99% of them.

It might have worked because the HT2000 has some connection between the
shield and earth of the power, thereby reducing the ground differences
between your components. If all the components are at the same ground
potential, there will be no hum (except perhaps mechanical hum from
transformers).
Surprisingly enough when I wired the coax cables through the Monster
2000 MKII power cleaner the hum was reduced to an extremely low level
(I only faintly hear it when my ear is about 12" from the sub).
Not sure why this worked but it did...

I'm not going to try the ground lifting plug.
Tomorrow I am going to try to run the coax satellite cables through my
monster power cleaner (I have the coax cables connected direct to the
sat receiver from the wall atm) and see what happens..my hope is that
it will help since the power cleaner i
Have you tried a ground lifting plug?
I'm talking about the $1 device that you use in old houses that don't
have a 3 hole outlet.
Try that first, and save your money.

Tyler has the right idea. You have what is commonly known as a ground
loop. What you need to do is to isolate which component is introducing
the loop and eliminate it. Typically, your cable for cable tv is the
biggest culprit. Can you keep everything together and then unplug the
cable from the

You have a ground loop and no amount of power line filtering will
eliminate it.
The problem is that the cable-tv coax is grounded at one loction and
the electric outlet ground is at another location. You don't need
something to isolate the sub input. You need something to isolate the
ground fro
