Just about all COAX splitters and devices contain a grounding lug now. You should just run your ground wire from the first one to the building's grounding electrode. It is not proper to drive a separate ground rod just for the SATV wiring. Don't forget that the dish itself must be grounded as well; not just reliant upon the coax shield. In most cases, the shield never actually comes in contact with the dish at all.
