Entertainment Center: TVs, Stereos, VCRs and DVDs - TV Antenna Grounding

I have a TV antenna installed in an unfinished attic. According to sources on the web, this is considered an indoor antenna and doesn't have to be grounded.

I know that a direct lightening strike may not have surviving electronics, however, I would like to ground it as I understand static electricity can build up, and will try to discharge through the (thousand dollar) TV if a ground is not provided. I believe I could use a coaxial grounding block, run a ground wire outside, and use a U bolt clamp to attach it to the ground cable (near the ground rods) for the electrical service entrance.

Does this sound OK? And, would a 10 or 8 gauge ground wire be adequate, or should I go with the NEC requirement for a 6 gauge wire? The antenna is not on a mast (just propped up in the rafters) should I attach the ground wire to the antenna too (where the mast would attach to it)?

What you plan is fine although I wouldn't do it on my attic antenna. I can't figure why you would get a static build up.

I would put a good surge protector on the power line to the TV.

If you are that worried about static electricity, I would ground it to the nearest electrical ground. Wire size doesn't matter since your only concerned about static electricity and the amps would be very small.
