i dunno how the ultra is at blind scanning and such.so i can't say one way or the other for that one.tho i don't think it was advised for what your looking for here.
pansat 9000 and neosat ipro 2k-neither have blind scan.so forget both of those.
a unit with no blind scan for true fta is kinda pointless as you know.
pansats are good blind scanners.but they are so buggy,slow channel changes/scrambled ch nag etc.they are a pain and buggy for true fta IMHO
the pansat 9200HD is good tho in that it supports hd of course,and also has ac3 audio decoding.many fta feeds you will need this,if you have a Dolby digital ss receiver,then you don't care anyway.anywho,id still stay away from pansat even for fta.
the other pansats are old,2500-3500.
yes,i have pannys -2700/2800/250sm/9200hd.not recommended.(the list of reasons is huge)
the captain 7100usb is a good one for true fta.good blind scanner.and the channel changes on true fta are SUPER fast! tho iv read the motor controls needs work!
captaiveworks are great for true fta as well.good blind scanning and motor controls.
hope this helps.
and keep in mind,many people may and will advise you on "other" reasons,and forget your after a decent true free to air unit.
