It is easy to see all the channels if you know their exact frequencies.
How frequencies are mapped to channels on the cable seems to differ
from country to country. See my shellscript, to start fxtv, it works
at least here in Bonn and only 2 stations are missing. May give you an
impression how it can work.

My Windows program has some kind of a "scanning" mode, which fxtv hasnt.
But you can find most stations with some try and error approach. Read the
docs ! ;-)

Voila:

fxtv -inputFormat pal -defaultChannel f304.44 -tunerMode cable 
-cableStationList "ARD(f41.44) ARTE(f48.44) ZDF(f55.50) TV1(f119.44)
