have you tried connecting your old TV up and seeing if the ghosting is gone on those channels??? if the ghosting is gone, you may have a ground loop caused by the cable which may be more noticeable on some channels than others..... in such a case use a ground isolator for your cable ..... a really good one is from www.jensentransformers.com-Sam

From what I quickly saw, it seems to me these products are for cable only - I think his ghosting is inherent to Directv packing each transponder with too many channels (ie: compression). Although I'm assuming he is using Satelite vs. cable - I may be wrong.

Hi,i use DirecTV also, and if you are refering to the cable from the receiver to the TV then the Isolation device will work fine! if you are refering to the cable from the Dish to the Receiver then the device will work for ground-loop, but WILL block the signal from the dish to the receiver....
If you are grounding your dish, then your ground-loop is probably coming from that! you can run the ground to the same outdoor ground used by your mains or you can purchase a device like the one below that will brek the loop, but not affect the signal!
great product meant for passing signal via glass, but will work pefectly to break a ground-loop induced by your dish!
