Run a wire from that ground block to your electrical ground rod.
Unfortunately I'm in a townhouse with plaster walls & ceiling, and hardwood floors. Circuit breaker box is on the other end of the house, and I'm no electrician. Maybe it's worth a call to Comcast though. Someone mentioned that its technically illegal to not have the cable signal grounded?

You mean plugging everything into the same outlet or circuit?
Yes, plugged into same outlet. Plugged into an API PowerWedge conditioner, in fact. Still no difference.

Wow, what a great idea! I’m surprised no one has come up with that before – despite the endless threads dealing with ground loops. .
I swore I got that idea from some other thread on this site. Regardless, I'm now noticing a bit of hum at 60hz, so may have to get a hum redux box in any case.

Any preference to one that would be in the sub line-out path (Behringer Hum Destroyer) vs one thats along the CATV (Jensen VRD-1FF)?
Thanks.
