1. Structure. The wire he's using isn't strong enough to just stay up standing by itself. It would fold over on itself. Also, it probably does need to be non conductive or you need to use coated wire.
2. It's not shielded because the entire thing is the antenna. I guess he could shield it between the TV and the actual wrapped tube part but this is sow low-tech it wouldn't make a difference. Your standard roof mounted antenna is shielded between the antenna and the tv because you don't want interference between the two points.

To clarify this, with a roof mounted antenna the wire needs shielding because it is typically running down the middle of the house and thus would be subject to interference from the many electronic devices therein. With this guy's solution, the wire just runs out of his window, and therefore as long as he doesn't have any ageing analogue equipment (speakers, cordless phones etc) near his TV or his window the issue of interference is minimal.
