Yes, both need to be grounded.

If The Multiswitch Is Grounded, Your All Good.
Because The Ota And Dish Cables Both Are Running Through That Switch. Hopefully The Installer Ran Bond Wires From The Dish Mast And Ota Mast To It.. That You'll Need To Check.

only wires coming off my dish and antenna are coax

Call them back out, they are supposed to ground the DISH and OTA mast, also to common ground. The multiswitch is fine to bond to, as long as the multiswitch is itself is grounded to meet local and NEC code. If it is, it will be a very simple thing for the installer to come back and do, hopefully. I don't think you need to actually even be there, as the tech can do all this outside.

>>>>****Actually, the SENSAR antenna when mounted on the "S" bracket to the back of the dish mount will bond as one unit, so the tech then should only need to run one ground bonding wire from the dish mount/arm to the multiswitch.. If the OTA was mounted on a separate mount by itself, then that will need it's own ground wire
