The Fortec Star MERCURY II Satellite Receiver
is a powerful satellite receiver ideal for satellite enthusiast.
This new model has component out. The receiver has an
easy-to-use Menu, yet is feature-rich. MERCURY II comes with a
comprehensive Power Scan for blind searching satellites. Users can
back up their channel list before upgrading the software, and then
restore the channel list, all from within the receiver’s own menu.
The front panel has 8 buttons allowing complete control of the
receiver’s functions without the use of the remote. The back panel
has all the connection options you would need, with RCA composite
jacks, component jacks (Y,Pb,Pr), and an S-video connection.
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.
