To deal with that, I have a second outlet tied to that circuit on the other side of that room. The outlets for that circuit are different colors (one a gray PS Audio outlet, and the other an orange Leviton hospital-grade one), so they're easy to identify.

As for the DirecTV causing a ground loop, I did not know that. There are receivers in 3 rooms upstairs where I am as well as one in the home theater downstairs! I'd just assumed it had something to do with appliances in use upstairs. Never considered the satellite issue. Guess I'll let the electrician check it out and trace the problem. I still haven't found it.
