Ground the Cable wire using a RF Grounding Coupler, like you were grounding a satellite. Run the copper wire to the service panel ground. You could also try a ground breaker from xantech or jensen. I have the Xantech ones in stock If you need one. Due to the fact that you are running source equipment to display equipment, they are probably on different circuits. I would suggest trying to use a Jensen transformer on the component video. I have four composite ones in stock, if you would like to try one, but I will need it back by Friday. Let me know.
Also, runnning the cable line into the MP device will only caus ethe problem to continue. By plugging the cable into the MP, you are now connecting the Cable ground (wherever it is), to the ground in the house. This could also cause a hum in the stereo equipment. Definetly try the Xantech ground breaker on the main cable line, and the Jensen transformer on the component Video.
