I didn't give the whole story. :)  You're grounding question reminded
me of the circumstances of the tuner's demise.

We had a storm.  Power surges and probably some sort of hit caused my
computer to shutoff and from then on the tuner wouldn't work (my
computer also was flaky for a while, now it is working fine though)

I don't know how to check if the cable is grounded, but most likely it
isn't.  I had thought of running the cable through a surge protector,
but wasn't sure how much drop that would cause on the cable line.
