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.....

EA has the right answer, bond the ground electrode systems together.


Do I get a prize???

When I was in the computer business we fixed a lot of problems this
way when networks spanned several buildings. A lightning strike will
resolve this ground shift through your TV if you don't.
