SIDs on Fortec Star 9800HDD?

Hi all,
I recently received my 9800HDD and am pretty happy with it, after some initial configuration brain damage on my part.

There is one thing missing that is making my search and store process somewhat difficult - I can't figure out where to read service IDs (SID).

If I pointed my old Samsung at an Echostar or Nimiq bird, I would get channel names in the form of "SVCxxx", where xxx corresponded to the DISH network channel number. This made unambiguous identification of the satellites really easy.

I am currently working my way through the arc with this new receiver, and I keep running into some DBS satellites with a bunch of "unnamed" channels and "BET", "BRAVO", "ANIML" and a few others.

Is there any way to get the 9800 to cough up SID?

Thanks,
--Bob
