I'm almost sure it's the cable TV line. The pesky little hum is there only when I connect the cable, and even if I route the cable through the VCR. Of course, it took about two hours for me to figure this out, as my first inclination was to blame the cheap TV and VCR I own! But, alas, I owe GE and Panasonic an apology.

Oh, and for the benefit of others who encounter this problem: I found that the cable company (Time Warner) was not very helpful. They sent someone out quickly, but he had little idea what I was talking about.

Cheers,
