The proof is in signal strength and quality (and getting pictures). If you can get Ohio News on SBS 6 11741 H with the sort of signal strength and quality you describe, it really doesn't matter that the satellite name doesn't pop up.

Good luck!
I must admit that I didn't have a clue re what he was saying, but you seem to be familiar with it.
Are you saying that the Viewsat somehow recognizes what satellite that it is on??? If so, any ideas re how it does that? I wonder if it somehow gets the info from the NIT or something, if so, I'd think it might depend on what transponder you lock on to. Ie some transponders have satellite/transponder info as part of the stream, and others don't, and still other transponders have incorrect info. It would be interesting to lock onto different transponders and see what your receiver pops up there.
