Unplug the cable TV feed. If the hum goes away, you have a ground loop problem related to your cable TV. In that case, you will have to buy some kind of ground breaker to fix it. I got one for $10 or $20 from my local high end audio dealer to fix a similar problem; although, there are more expensive products available.

In my case, what triggered the problem was installing a new Bryston amplifier in the system. I think I may have had a slight problem before, but installing the new component exacerbated it for some reason.
