The latest MPEG2 DVB Free To Air (FTA)
receiver introduction from Fortec Star. Fast chipset, very
sensitive tuner, easy menu, and the list goes on. The best
Korean made BLIND SEARCH receiver on the market today. A blind
search receiver can find every feed signal. Super fast channel
changing speed. Crisp picture with the S-Video output. Dolby
Digital (AC3) S/PDIF audio coaxial output for your listening
pleasure. Listen to AC3 broadcasts (Dolby Digital 5.1) when your
Lifetime receiver is connected to a Dolby A/V amplifier (decoder).
What does BLIND SEARCH (aka SMART
or POWER SCAN) mean? It means that the receiver will do an
automatic scan of the incoming satellite signal in small steps for
active symbolrates to determine if there are any live transponder
signals transmitting Free to air TV or radio channels. In this
special search feature, the receiver will not only identify the
frequency but also the symbol rate, polarity, FEC, and PIDS. It
will then store these transponders and any FTA channels it finds in
its memory. Any encrypted channels it finds will not be displayed,
instead you will see "BAD or ENCRYPTED SIGNAL". These are not FTA
and will require subscription.
The BLIND SEARCH feature comes in
handy if a channel has relocated to a new transponder or if you have
a motorized C and/or KU band dish and enjoy surfing the satellites
for available FTA channels.
