Thanks TOdd,
I don't really think the cheater plug will help either...
Unfortunately, I can't isolate the ground downstream of the box, because the coax exisits only upstream (downstream is S-video & dig. audio) and even if I could, it wouldn't help, since the ground would be connected with my system by then.
After a little more reading, I now think the problem is that both the transformer and capacictor isolators won't pass the higher frequencies used by the digital portion of the cable signal.
I'm using 0.01uF caps... I wonder if different values might work better? The author of the article I mentioned hints at it... maybe another trip to Radio Shack is in order...
Thanks,
Chris Leger
