Unfortunately, scte65_scan does not cover all channels. HD channels are not included. But worse, scte65_scan includes extended
basic channels that are encrypted, and not actually accessible.

It would be much better if cable companies were forced to include the virtual channel & channel name in the channel stream
itself like OTA channels do.
