optical connection yes, coaxial no, since coax still uses a ground which would link the two grounds together. I'd also suggest using a smaller ground wire, 14 or 16, so that if there is a ground fault it will want to travel down the components natural ground instead of flowing through the other component. As well, if you receiver does not have a ground prong then definitely ground it manually with a 12g to the wall socket ground! -- Steve _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
