Good info.
I can only add that for Globecast transponders Quick Way will work,
For other providers (RRSat, PITCOMM)- sorry - need to perform a Long Way

That is right. GlobeCast has the most amount of TP and they send the NIT data with their TP info. So "Quick Way" Network scan will work great for them.
