Viewsat » Viewsat VS2000 Ultra Reviews

The VIEWSAT ULTRA is best selling Free To Air Receiver. With 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 is 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.
