Got a service call today for an electrician. The customers has been getting a shock from her cable for years. The cable man hooked up the tv and blew up the HDMI and cable box. TV had a service contract so it was replaced. They ran a new RG6. He put a tool on his RG6 end it showed 120VAC. Parts of this house were renovated by a previous owner(non electrician). I cant stand when this happens, anyway. 120V appears only when this breaker for this room is on. Also the metal nail on box is also live. I cant believe it. The box is grounded. There has to be a hidden splice box with no grounding cond from the panel. I ran a dedicated plug for the tv. I figured I would post this before I abandoned that circuit and refed the room to take care of the problem. The splitters are bonded. Any thoughts.
