Sounds like its been zapped, yep probably a replacement in order. The warranty wouldn't cover lightening damage anyway you would have to claim on your house insurance. Happened to me a couple of years ago took out the Sky box, the answer phone and a rather expensive hifi system!

Try power off/on. If that doesn't help, it's probably been "flashed" via the phone line. Ask Michael at Digifix if he can help:

He specialises in Sky+ repairs. If the Hard Drive is undamaged, you'll get to keep your recordings.
