Grounding TV Antenna?

Hello,I noticed in a recent thread that grounding (earthing) TV antennas was mentioned.I have a TV antenna on my roof and there is definitely no earth connected.What are the implications?Should it be earthed?What should be earthed? (mast?screen?both?)Does it make a difference for the reception quality?If the mast would be earthed, wouldn't it act as a lightning rod? In which case the gauge would have to be rather large and the earth point of low resistance and the wire would have to run outside the building, true?I assume connecting it to the Neutral earth point would be a nono?Any hints appreciated:-)Tony
