The LFRX is a true DC - 30 Mhz board.
DC means you either have to apply the corrent DC-bias to your input

OR

AC-couple your inputs by using capacitors.

For my experiments with capturing analog baseband video with LFRX I used 
ac-coupling for both ground and signal line.
(using several uFarad capacitors, to create a frequency response from 10 Hz to 
30 MHz)

If you DC-connect the ground from LFRX to real ground without adding a dc-bias 
directly you will probably get nothing out of it.
