CW receivers were popular back in the bin hack days but I have never tested one before so I wouldn't be able to comment on its true fta capability.

You might like to view the content from Genpix dot com about the skywalker series of tuners. They are basically made from the CW line, as they do turbo, DCII and DVB. I don't think they do S2 though. Just got a skywalker 1 myself and have yet to hook into anything as my computer needs an update.

Happy Testing!!!
