Might want to check with an Electrician
depends on the area and electrical code...
Here in Minnesota we are now required to get a low voltage license
to install gear.
David... you might want to check what your doing with an electrician
or a licensed low voltage guy.
we were told it is against code to attach low voltage grounding
to high voltage grounding since they now tie ground and neutral together
inside the main house panel.
Just a suggestion

Hard to know for sure how that is set up, but we do our grounds to the
outside of electrical service boxes. We know that is how the
Satellite dish installers recommend grounding in this fashion so we
follow that. There are a number of corner clamps and edge clamps made
for clamping onto the outside of the box and attaching a ground wire
to it. So what you are doing would match their requirements for
proper ground. This only works on the main electrical service box.
You can’t do this on air conditioner disconnects and the like.

I have a house POP where the electrical service had a grounding bar
attached/screwed into the side of it, but nothing on it.
Is it possible that the grounding bar is grounded internally somehow?
Or maybe the whole electrical box is grounded already and therefor
that bar is also properly grounded?
Just never seen that, and am thinking it’s more likely that they
disconnected the grounding wire to a grounding rod during landscaping.
I haven’t had a chance to really dig around their service conduit to
look for a grounding rod, but none was immediately visible.
I went ahead and tied in my box grounding bar to that grounding bar
anyways.
