Thanks for all the info

I am going to ground out the satellite dish to the tower.

Now it is grounded to my new plazma and I would feel more comfortable with
it grounded to the tower. Don't want nothing happening to that new plazma.
Now of course if it ever got hit by lightning I would imagine the receiver
would get fried, maybe not the tv, the coax goes into the receiver, then
into the yamaha sourround sound then into the tv. A jolt has to stop
somewhere along that line.

I know what an opto-isolator is. (Provides a signal path with a short-range
modulated light beam -- no copper connection) I don't know if any have been
designed/sold for lightning protection.

Anybody?
