Are you trying to remotely control the motor via the receivers RS-232 port? Using software on a PC to control your motor?
That's what I would like to be able to do. I could slave out the setup top box use it for blind scanning and motor control.
I'm doing that now. But wouldn't it be nice if it could be remotely controlled with software. With IF out you only get V or H signal you get up and change it.
Some boxes if you switch the power off on the back will allow the slave receiver to control polarity.
It is worth a try.
dreambox 500s are opensrc and support usals, if you know a little about code you could probably compile a plugin to make this work for you. it has an ethernet port as well if you find that easier to control your dreambox with.
you could do it with no software change if you use the webif and choose a channel on the sat your looking for, then the ird will move the motor automagically for you.

I run my Genpix DVB device behind my Fortec. When I'm not blind scanning I have the Fortec switched off. The Genpix switches the polarity and is able to drive the motor too!
Don't turn off the receiver in the back just push the power button on the remote or front panel.
