Anyone in North America experimenting with DiSEqC Control for Tracking ??
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DiSEqC

DiSEqC (Digital Satellite Equipment Control), pronounced "Die-Sec", is a special communication protocol for use between a satellite receiver and a device such as a multi-dish switch or a small dish antenna rotor. 
DiSEqC was developed by European satellite provider Eutelsat, which now acts as the standards agency for the protocol.
