Search the DVB mailinglists for the dvbsak announcement, a library which has a 
frequency scanner utility (give it a range to scan). It might take forever 
:-) but it will find any used frequencies, and usually, when it finds one, 
some of the metadata transmitted on that frequency announces all other 
frequencies and settings. I guess its a good last resort kind of try :)

Cheers,
