Bill:
I don't really know how the Viewsat does what it does (if anybody can figure such things out, my money would be on you), but the receiver seems to read data from somewhere. In the case where two satellites are parked in the same position, you can sometimes be watching a channel on one satellite while the display will show the other bird.
I've experimented by manually changing the name of a satellite, but when that satellite is properly tuned in, its real name pops up in the display. Also, when the "Black Belt" mux was active on Amazonas, it would show up as...Intelsat Americas 5! I don't know if some embedded data was just passing through or what.
When I get a moment, I'll play around with monitoring different transponders on different satellites and see what happens.
