Satellite Dish ground wire improperly installed by DirecTV

The "green wire to ground" between the outdoor satellite antenna/dish and ground was not properly installed. The DirecTV tech used the natural gas pipe as the path to ground. I am not a telecommunications installation technician, I do not believe using a natural gas pipe would be considered proper.

U-verse NHL Network not in Sports Package?

I have the sports package and U200. NHL network is not available on 638 (showing as not subscribed). Information on channel lineups and sports package channels seems thin on the ground for uverse, and all I find shows NHL Network should be viewable with my packages. What gives, if anyone knows?

The pic attached shows a 4 coax ground block bonded to the service ground. These are also available for single coax used on SWM systems.  The ground is absolutely required by Directv and having the post in the ground is not sufficient.
