Don't be fooled by this, lightning will still find your nice 'earthy' aerial below the roof tiles, a few inches of ceramic tile won't proove much of a challenge for a strike that has just overcome a few hundred metres of free air!

I would still unplug it during a storm and place it away from the set if poss.

Cheers
