So, Mart, what the heck happens when you disconnect the CATV source? If I understood your question correctly, yes, differing ground potentials can exist and cause problems even if the monitor is turned off.

I thought it was my cheap RS powered splitter, but no. It's the Cable TV signal. I guess Mondial Magic is in order.

  Try HomeTech ; I got one for $10 bucks shipped. It's called a Ground Breaker (and it says it has a surge suppressor in it as well). Anyhow, it seems to work very well.

  Well, technically it's probably not the CATV signal, but a potential between the CATV ground and your electric ground.
  Mondial charges, what, $100?
  I use an $8 version, I forget who makes it, but it works fine. A lot of installers carry these around and give them away to their customers.
  Do a web search.
