786 Vs Lifetime Ultra

I just purchased my 786 v3 a couple of weeks ago and it works fine. However, the blind search capabilities of the Lifetime Ultra seem like the next step for me as that seems to be my interest. I guess my question is for those of you who have the Ultra's...do you like them...is it a better box than the 786? Is blind search cool?

Thanks...Jim

I have the same question? If I am primarily using my system for say G10r do I really need blind search? Is the $60 + dollars difference really worth it for the average person? Thanks, Mike.

I have found blind search to be useful when hunting for new channels and news feeds.
Putting manual data into the satellite tables using the lyngsat data is not so tedious.
