Dish and motor

:roll:
OK, I have been reading and it looks like I don't realy need to get a Stab MS110 if I can get a motor that uses a small voltage. I still may get one but...

I have a one meter Dish that is currently in a fixed position on my roof.
I believe that it is made of either some kind of plastic or fiberglass I am not quite sure. I am also not sure how much it weighs as I didn't install it and have no specs on it.

The pole it sits on is 60mm in Diameter. The dish does not have U-Bolts attaching it to the pole. The connector attached to the Dish sits on the pole like a cap and bolts on the side squeeze the connector parts together to hold the dish in place on the pole. Is there a name for this type of dish connection?

Is it possible to motorize a dish of this type? Does anyone have any info on what would be required and how this could be done?

How exactly are adapter rings and HH-extensions used?

Thanks, I really would like to only have one motorized dish big enough to get good signals on as many sats as possible without spending a fortune.
