Lightning hitting satellite dish or connections

Hi,
Yesterday we had a severe lightning storm and our receiver just says searching for satellite signal. I had a new spare LNB and tried replacing that on the dish but still no signal. I have to borrow a friends receiver to see if my receiver acutally got hit, but was wondering if maybe the connector that ties into the LNB arm could have possible got blown out?? I have a copper lightning rod. Thought maybe I could try changing the connection.
Didn't know if anyone has ever had this problem.
