Reviewed in Tele-Satellite International Magazine as one of the most reliable, feature-full and easy to operate FTA receivers on the market. The M-II is one of the few consumer receivers that will identify the frequency, symbol rate, polarity, FEC and even the PIDS for positive lock to any KU or C-Band satellite. With the “BLIND SEARCH” feature there is no need to manually go through the set up. Simply aim the dish and let the receiver download and save the channels for you! The features are excellent for motorized systems, one of the fastest receivers on the market. Some of the easy to use conveniences are: 1 button search, edit function. Channel memory back-up, component video output, Dolby Digital 5.1, picture in graphics up to 16 channels at once, data transfer and more.

It means that the receiver will do an automatic scan of the incoming satellite signal in small steps for active symbol rates 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.
