Satellite Identification via Linux Command Line?

[signal.quest]

I am trying to set up a 10' BUD. I only have a PROF 7500 and a Twinhan 102G as a tuner. Does anyone have any tricks for identifying Satellites using command line tools? Is there a way to query the Satellite for it's name or something similar?

dvbsnoop -nph -n 1 0x00

is a start. sometimes they will also include a NIT, 0x10 that helps too.
