Well my Topfield does find pretty much all channels on Hotbird. OTOH it does
have a list of (most?) transponders for each satellite (including Astra) so
I guess it uses that.

In fact I don't find scanning such a high priority either... I rarely use it
on my Topfield either.

A good channel editor with filtering, sorting, etc. would be nice though -
possibly with Satco DX import and comparison features to show what's new
(and what may be obsolete).

And while at it, I'd prefer a separate radio list (yes, I know, it's been
discussed here before).
