Good troubleshooting.
Most surge supressors, while fine for cable TV, really aren't designed to handle the voltage and frequencies of a Sat. feed cable, especially DishPro equipment. It sounds like it lasted a while then finally burned out.
You should be fine. And you are right, if your dish takes a direct lightning hit, a surge suppressor probably wouldn't have saved your receiver anyway.
