    Just got HDTV receiver and antenna, few questions.

    My antenna is indoor/outdoor and the manual says Is it a fire risk not to ground the antenna? How important is it to have it grounded? Do they just put that in there to cover their own asses? I'm just going to set it up indoors for now. Thanks for any input.

    What's the dish that is going to have the HDTivo built in?

    Getting a new TV today in about an hour, is this a good choice?

    Comments and recommendations are welcome and needed. My price range can go up to $2500. 53 inches is the biggest I can get for my room, anything bigger would be overkill. Thank you.
