Tv antennas and Tv reception

Air conditioners are mounted above the roof and are not grounded with a separate ground wire. Metal vent pipes stick up out of the roof and are not grounded with a separate ground wire. Some houses have a metal roof and it is not grounded with a separate ground wire. Some houses have metal gutters that are not grounded with a separate ground wire. It is interesting that more concern is given to a Tv antenna as if the antenna is a special case , the Tv Antenna Is Not A Special Case. That said , it is prudent to ground the antenna with separate wire and it is also prudent to ground the other metal objects that are above or on the roof and a metal roof with separate ground wires. That said: For different perspective get some binoculars get in the car and drive around and look at roofs , Are any of the antennas grounded with a separate wire?? Are any of the metal vent pipes that stick up out of the roof grounded with a separate ground wire?? Are the metal gutters grounded with a separate ground wire?? Are the airconditioners that are on roofs grounded with a separate ground wire?? Is a metal roof grounded with a separate ground wire??
