DVBS2 in West Coast US (TBS5980)

So...

I was able to get a TBS5980 (USB dvb-S2 tuner) connected which works with media center. The issue that I am having is that the satellite and transponder list within WMC is REALLY outdated. Example: The satellite that I am using (I have a fixed dish, connected to a 4 way box to allow the TBS and the Set-top to work) is Galaxy 19 at 97.0 W. WMC does not list it as Galaxy 19, and the one that is on 97.0W detects very few channels with the included transponder list. Using some lists I found online [http://www.lyngsat.com/Galaxy-19.html] I was able to manually scan transponders to find some of the additional channels.

My two main questions are:

- Is there a way to get an updated satellite list and transponder list added to WMC to make this a little easier?
- Is there a way to get any guide for the SAT channels linked with WMC, without affecting the existing setup that includes US CableCard and ATSC stations?
Time is on my side.
