Ah, that makes sense. (Well, it doesn't but it seems to be the case here). I suppose there is no easy way to cycle through channels from a script and actually try if they can be decoded? > Just post two lines, one for an FTA channel and one for an encrypted channel. I think the problems are channels that don't follow the standard correctly as you said.
