Audio Hum on HSN channel 176 & 483

When I tune to HSN (Home Shopping Network) on channel 176 or 483, I get an audio hum of about 190 Herts (I measured it) with the regular audio that is very irritating. I've reported it to Spectrum and they sent a technician out to troubleshoot. It was determined that some, not all, in my neighborhood have it as well. In following up with Spectrum I was told that the audio hum is coming from the signal supplied by HSN and was thus out of their hands and weren't doing anything to correct the problem. However, if I watch HSN on my Spectrum App or via the Spectrum website on my PC the audio is just fine (no hum), suggesting that it is not the HSN source unless HSN provides multiple sources of the signal to Spectrum. I ask that if anyone else has this problem to please report it. I would also appreciate someone from the Spectrum technical department (preferably a manager or lead tech) to contact me so we can discuss this problem.
