Just an update if anyone else has the same problem. I don't think the system had ever been set up correctly, the control panel said the dish was in the up position when in fact it was folded. I slackened of the dish arm and put it in the up position then selected the fold position and it moved back to fold position but need to be adjusted again by a few centemeters and it is working ok.Is there a reset for the dish. Mine seems to be stuck in the down position. Ive looked for fuses for it but I can't find any and i've checked all the fuses in the tech cabinet.
