The data's freely available - all the sky boxes started outputting it
sometime before the release of the gnome.

I don't know anything about MainLobby, but you might be able to 'wing'

channel name is the next data terminating when you find 'SSDT'. (I think
that'll work, been a while since I looked at the data in detail).
