This is a bit drastic RJ, but it sounds as though a 'Power Wash' might be the best thing to try, because the lightening strike, may have damaged part of the OS, concerned with the streaming process...
Not saying that such a step will reverse the situation, but on the other hand ~ it might...
I doubt it will happen, but doing a power wash, might not be the appropriate answer, as there could be adverse results... That's just a speculative observation...
You're probably aware how to go about the task, but if not, open settings, click on advanced and go to the very end of the list... PW puts the machine right back to where it was when new...
Save all relevant, important information on a memory stick, because the slate will be wiped clean when performing that function...
Hope that helps...
