I agree. There should also be a ground block where the coax enters the
house. That allows the coax shield to be earthed. That connection, in
particular, plus the ground wire from the TV antenna, should connect to
the earthing system near the service panel. ...
That requires a short wire
from entry protectors to a common connection point on the earthing
system. The distance from the service N-G bond to the common connection
point also has to be short.

Is there a conflict there for a TV antenna mounted on the North
end of the house with coax running down the North wall and
entering the crawl space there - and a service panel on the
opposite end of the house?

In that situation the technically correct thing to do would
be to have another ground rod on the end of the house
with the antenna and have that ground rod bonded to the ground rod at
the main panel. However there are plenty of houses out there that
just have the antenna ground on one end and the panel grounded on the
other. This common
ground is one reason utilities, ie electric, phone, cable,
etc come in at the same place.
