Description:

The VIEWSAT ULTRA is best selling Free To Air Receiver. We’ve added a faster processor (200 MHz), double the memory of the Xtreme (32 Mb SD RAM), and a USB communications port for easy data updates. Now you can use your USB flash drive to update your receiver. The new universal remote that comes with this unit is awesome. If that's not enough, wait until you see the new colorful Graphic User Interface. This is by far the best FTA STB the market has ever seen.

Fast, great EPG!

Lots of clones out there!

Great receiver! If you are looking for a non HD receiver get this one. I never had a problem with it. Load software right from a usb stick. Easy to use and a great EPG.
The bad thing about these receivers is there were a lot of clones out there and the bin files have a clone kill in them. So if you have one it will burn out you receiver a few hours after you load the file.
