Look around the back of your house for the point where the cable service enters the house. It should be where your electric meter is. You should see a so-called “grounding block” that looks like this:

The coaxial cable connects to both sides of it. Where the screw terminal is, there should be a wire that goes to the copper ground stake for your electrical service. Make sure the wire is tight and secure on both ends. Maybe even replace it to make sure the connections aren’t oxidized and corroded.

Since we’re dealing with cable TV service, a trick that often works is to use a pair of 75-300 ohm transformers, like this:

Connect the screw terminals together, and your coaxial cables on the other ends. A barrier strip is a good way to tie them together and keep the connections seperated:

You can do this inside the house, between the wall and the cable box. Check your channels after you’re done, though – sometimes it can affect the picture on the high-numbered channels, if I recall.
