I wrote a little script, that will convert the info of the satellites 
into a web page,
which you can view on the BQ itself.
( landscape works best )

-1 download the tarball at http://www.kapitein.org/sats.tgz
-2 extract it in the homedir of phablet ( /home/phablet )
-3 run the script: /home/phablet/scripts/gps/scripts/sats2html.sh &
-4 after a minute, open the browser and point it to 
file:///dev/shm/sats.html

I hope this will help someone.

Kind regards,
Ed
