Fortec Star Classic NA vs. CaptiveWorks 600S Premium

[pontic79]

Which receiver is better for fta use Fortec Star Classic NA or CaptiveWorks 600S Premium?
Which has better performance, faster channel changing, better scanning, blind scanning, etc.

Better specs.

I've had a CW-600 Premium...it has no blindscan, so for true FTA its useless. It was okay I guess, I never got too used to it before it was gone.

The Fortec, OTOH, has had some pretty good reviews. I've never had any experience with one, although if you just hang round a bit someone will come along who does.

I would take the Fortec, any day, over the CW. Blind scan alone would dictate the choice with all other factors being equal, however, I've heard the CW has other issues.
