Holy POO! I just got a look at how much #6 solid copper wiring is! Holy Poo! My wife would skin me alive!

Okay, I am just spitting in the wind here. But lets say that HD Stacker is able to pull a usable signal from the backside of the house and I was able to put the antenna up about 8' from the service panel grounding rod.

That would eliminate the need for that #6 copper wire correct?
All I would have to do then is:

#8 ground wire from the rg6 grounding block to the service panel ground rod
and
#8 ground wire from grounding strap attached to the base of the antenna mast to the service panel ground rod

Is the above correct?

I hope so. But on the down side that increases the coax run to a 20' rg6 quad from the antenna to ground block, then out to a 75' run (minimum) to the Tivo. **sigh**
