Lightning Strike

There was a lightning strike on a tree 20ft. from the house, last Sunday. 

There was static electricity, discharge in the house that caused quite a scare to the family.

Even though the power was off at the time, I lost eight pieces of equipment including the satellite receiver, TV, DVD player, NAS, and my router.

The satellite receiver was replaced by DirecTV, but I'm still not getting service. Could the SWIM and LNB be damaged as well?

Thanks

775 is no power to the SWM LNB on the dish arm so could be damaged or the coax is damaged or if you have one the external power inserter.

Static electricity travelling along the coax is possible, but man this is a first for me so close to lightning.
