I have installed and tested it: works fine, at least I have a table of
red values of satellites (I'm sitting inside, outside it's raining) :-)

I will map the command to start the script on some F-key in the
terminal-app, but not in background, because it would cause a constant
power-drain.

Btw: What is the best way in the BQ browser of page reload?
Thanks
