Signal indicator in settings menu is advising not locked. If the dish had moved in the wind wouldn't all inputs to lnb be effected?

Most likely the satellite cable in either the back of the Sky box or on the LNB on the dish has become disconnected. Check to see it's fully connected at back of Sky box, if it is then check the cable from the working box in the non working box, if that works then there's a problem with the signal coming from the dish to the box, likely a loose connection at the lnb on the dish.
