I've done that and shared at:

Yes, it seems to work (except it coredumps after ctrl-c on fedora), e.g.
$ gnutv -channels channels.xine.conf -cammenu "Eurosport HD"

No, some are unencrypted. I cannot tell there are some other
differences, windows application 'tt-viewer' does not show details
about scanned channels. Also, the multiplex frequencies listed by
provider do not seem to match much with what the w_scan initially found.
Also, w_scan only scanned at QAM256, tv provider page suggests there are
some channels at QAM64 (I havent tried to scan those).
But again, it worked (with the TechnoTrend driver) for a short while
from linux, even the encryted channels I think.
