My Internet connection and phone, all through my cable company, has been acting up for at least 2 weeks with intermittent phone and Internet. Call service and they send the guy out. Unfortunately I couldn't be there. I am a little paranoid about people pulling cables behind my main HT set-up. I get home power it up and HUMMMMMMMMMMM
I hate ground loops they are such a pita to find. Before the service all was well. So I start checking my ground wires. I have a star ground single point system that ties directly to my outside service grounding rod. Works like a charm.
I can't find anything wrong so I ask my wife what he did. Found out he changed the main line feed from the pole to the house. I go outside and guess what is not connected?? The ground for the cable system I hook it problem fixed
Any of you guys have cable ground issues. How do you fix them?? Hard ground or an isolator??
