Are there any positioners out there that have a web interface to where the actuator could be controlled remotely from a different location? I can remote in to my computer via Remote Desktop and control the receivers, but how to move the dish?

Currently using a Primesat PR1200 to move the dish.

My VBox7 manual says I can have the receiver automatically move the actuator by connecting the VBox in line between receiver and actuator. Diseqc commands are sent by the receiver to the VBox which translates them to pulses for the actuator. So when you remotely select a different satellite, would the actuator not move automatically to that new satellite the same way a Ku system works?
 
Why not assign one of your current receivers to position the dish controller using DiSEqC 1.2 or USALS commands? Maybe network into the Edision or other similar STB?? )I also used TSReader and DVBS PCI / USB device on a PC to remote control using DiSEqC 1.2 and USALS commands.

Research Concepts software will not control the Primesat PR1200.
