I remembered seeing something similar on the CCA reflector some time back. Here it is. Good luck.

collins-bounce@mailman.listserve.com WOW ... Jerry K7ENP pegged it!!
By simply plugging the TV into the outlet instead of going through a
surge protection outlet strip the problem went away. This hash was
between 20-40db over s9. It was wiping out almost everything - AND NOW
IT"S GONE!
The outlet strip is rate for about 600 watts and I was pulling about
300. Should have been OK. Jerry's suggestion was that lighting might
have hit it and I not know it, is probably correct.
I would like to thank Jerry and everyone who helped. I learned quite a
bit from the information I received. This was a difficult situation for
me. I had just bought the family this new TV, but if I wanted to use
the rig at the same time (which seemed like most of the time) it was
impossible. This is truly a great list!
Thanks again Jerry - DX here I come! John K6MAY.
I have repeated Jerry's email below...
Hi John have you tried Exchanging or replacing the
Dish with components? I had s8 on my kwm2/a when i
turned tv off it dropped to s3 When I threw out the
surge protector, and plugged the tv in to the wall
my s meter dropped to nearly 0 Hi Moral here my
surge protector was hit with lightning and I didn't
know it. 73 your friendly ham Jerry k7enp
