I've seen one dish that was hit by lightning as well. The messenger line was broken by the burn. Messed up the siding on the guy's house.
The answer to the grounding question doesn't always sense. I was told the other day that the messenger works in conjunction with the center conductor to form the actual gauge that is required for the dish to be grounded properly. This is why when running dual cable, both lines need to run to the ground block... hmm?!

Grounding will not protect you if lightning strikes but it will bleed off the build up of static electricity that attracts lightning, thusly reducing the probabilty of a strike.
You would need a very large braided copper cable to carry the voltage of a lightning strike to ground, and that still would not guarantee the connected electronics would not be fried.Hitachi 57F59; Sony VHP-D50Q - 7' diag on wall
