I have a garage that is fed with a 3 wire feed from one pole transformer
and my house is same from a different pole transformer. Both locations have
a ground rod attached to the box. The cable TV is connected to both sites
using a splitter. ( This was installed by the cable company before I bought
the house) Is this a possible ground problem? The cable eventually connects
the shield to the ground of each television in both locations. Saw a
similar post the other day that got me thinking.....


Anything can happen with ground/hum, but methinks the solution is
dirt-simple, if there is a problem:
Connect both ground rods with a wire.
Proly not a bad idea even if there isn't a problem, if one ground is
superior to the other, which can easily be the case. Codes notwithstanding,
of course.
