Nick, what a great idea.

Here are a few of the typical results for:

tzap -a 0 -r "ITV4"

status 1f | signal b87a | snr 0000 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | 
FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal b82d | snr 0000 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | 
FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal b84b | snr 0000 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | 
FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal b85c | snr 0000 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | 
FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal b851 | snr 0000 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | 
FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal b81b | snr 0000 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | 
FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal b83e | snr 0000 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | 
FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal b832 | snr 0000 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | 
FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal b83e | snr 0000 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | 
FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal b840 | snr 0000 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | 
FE_HAS_LOCK

I will spend some time watching this but it seems like things are ok.
