That would be awesome. If you can run w_scan it should pick up a multiplex
on channel 50 (706000000)

Another useful output would be a dvbscan (or scan depending on your distro)

Create a file SkyTower with the following

# Additional Ch 50 multiplex from Sky Tower
T 706000000 8MHz 3/4 3/4 QAM64 8k 1/16 NONE

Then run

scan -a 0 -u 5 -o pids SkyTower > skytower.pids
scan -a 0 -u 5 -o zap SkyTower > skytower.conf
scan -a 0 -u 5 -o vdr SkyTower > skytower.vdr

In theory there are 4-5 test channel active on this multiplex.
