H-H motor questions

I'm not clear how an H-H motor works. It sweeps an arc (the Clark belt) in
the southern sky E-W, is that right? Is there a separate elevation control
or is the arc preset? How do you power it? I know you can get a separate box
but can you control it directly from a receiver or card (I have the
Nexus-S)? I want to run as few wires as possible. Is there a chimney mount
(I'd prefer not to drill into my roof)?

The arc is preset.

I'm not to sure on that, but I think the card directly powers the
motor through the coax.
