Actually he uses the line level outs, but we'll tinker with that switch also, as I remember it being there. I'll be going back there shortly, so we'll see what comes up.

Hi John, Problem has been solved. Ground Loop from the local cable company. He bought one of those ground isolator things and that killed both the hummmmmm and that bizzare video line "line" that wondered up the TV screen on the video side from the IRD. I was certain of the audio hum problem, but the video is what spooked me. That isolater I suspect is a 75 - 75 ohm balun. $25 bucks later... :-) Cameron Hall cameron.hall@bluebeam.gryn.org | ad121@hwcn.org Blue Beam MailServer | 905 662 5784 | Stoney Creek ON Canada | v34 FAX --- GEcho 1.00 * Origin: Blue Beam MailServer, Stoney Creek, Canada (1:2424/3120) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 164 SATELLITES Ref: F2R00000 Date: 02/21/98 From: DAVE DANIEL Time: 08:22am \/To: GENE LOWRY (Read 1 times) Subj: TVRO Echo Hello Gene!
