Sheds etc. are earthed. they all touch the ground. Higher buildings need an Ariel at the highest level....

I think yer a bit at crossed wires here( Pardon the pun). Aerials are for receivin signals. Earthing is used for the safe transport of current. Shielding from microwave sigals like mobiles would require a metal roof of sum sort. Terresrrial signals like Television have been here for yonks and take the form of VHF and UHF. The switch to digital has meant an increase in power of the carrier wave for the television signal and an increase in the multiplexers incorporated in the wave form.

sheds which are mounted on non conductive foundations are not earthed.

I think I read an article at one point which recommended earthing to eliminate static electricity in a loft.This was reported to have benefits for the pigeons.
