[mythtv-users] TV-out interference

[Joseph H. Fry]

I had a similar problem connecting my computer to my stereo a while back
(terriable 60hz noise problem)... it's definitely a grounding issue.
Look for a 60hz noise filter for coax cable, should be able to find one
at radio shack.  For audio noise a ground loop filter solved my issue,
as did using the optical output (logically).

You may also try making your own coax cable and not connect the shield
at one end so that the shield doesn't carry the ground between devices
(I would use the PC end and just use the center conductor on the vcr
end... it could result in lesser quality though.

I take it you mean mains outlets?
If so then, yes, they are all connected to the same outlet (a whole
bunch
of stuff is connected to same same outlet, which might be a bit dodgy,
elictrically
speaking, I guess; TV, amp, PS/2, DVD, Tivo, PC, subwoofer, CD player,
VCR).
Of course, if there were more available wall sockets I'd have used 'em,
but there's
only the one...

Cheers,
Dave.
