Yeah mate,
What's worse is, these days all TV aerial inputs (those that use them) have a capacitor in there to help block the half-mains voltage getting out, so a fault like this could go un-noticed for quite a while, as the iron roof is un-earthed. eek

I feel sorry for anyone that disconnects that TV set.
