I see they're back on the air -- all 6 channels of programming. Haven't looked at the signal, yet, though.

KWBR in St. George is a Smooth Jazz station. 105.7 on the F.M. dial, they're also online at www.smoothjazzutah.com/ or on RadioSure or TuneIn (as well as others, I'm sure).

I haven't had any problems picking them up, just the occasional audio "pop." It's not that my tuners won't lock in on the signal, it's that I don't even see anything on my meter. Same thing with ch15 (18) -- no signal at all.

I'm assuming that this upgrade is why they've been off the air for the past while.

No, you're not missing anything. I didn't realize that the stream wasn't generated locally. Their old stream on surfernetwork (http://nick11a.surfernetwork.com/kbzn) is dead, and I'm trying to find the replacement. Found it at crystalout.surfernetwork.com:8001/KBZN_MP3.m3uStreamTheWorld.com is another popular one. Can't wait until Magnum Dynalab starts making HD Radio tuners for home systems. Hopefully, they won't be too pricey. Thanks for your help!

Does anybody know where the original stream for KBZN is? I know you can find a stream of them all over the place, but am looking for the oe that originates at KBZN. Since I can't find a reasonably priced HD Radio tuner, I gotta go with the 2nd option for my AVR.

I've always had choppy audio from them. Hopefully, this will help.

Rat Shack sells their STBs for $100. While the programming may be broadcast in several markets, Houston appears to be the only one where you can actually subscribe.
From another page: "a new subscription service called AirBox is transmitting several scrambled and unscrambled streams on subchannels of Ion stations nationwide. These streams are in MPEG4 format, so your current set won’t be able to decode them, even if your set can lock onto the subchannel."
It looks like they also do H.264 (with AAC audio) in addition to MPEG4 in some areas.
I'm getting to like this STB even better than at first. I first liked it because of the price tag and its capability to do ATSC and QAM. Now, I'm reading that it does MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.264, VC-1 (formerly known as WMV), DivX, and MKV.

Yeah, I discovered that. I don't know why anybody would want to pay for stereo in 480i.
Wonder why they don't offer the service since they're broadcasting it anyway.
No, the manual doesn't say anything about it. USDTV didn't make it here -- I doubt that AirBox will. At least with USDTV you got a bunch of channels, not just 3.

Apparently they're part of KUPX, channel 16. They come up as Showtime - 16.90; Starz! - 16.95; & Airbox - 16.96. All of them are scrambled channels.

I just bought a new STB (the price was right and I can add up to a 3TB USB harddrive to turn it into a DVR), and as I was scanning, I came across 3 pay channels ; Showtime, Starz!, and I don't remember what the other one was. On the tab that shows the channel's info was a dollar sign. That suggests to me a pay channel.
I don't know what channel they are on (they are all on the same channel), and my meter died before I could find a channel I haven't seen before.
Does anyone know anything about this?

Last I heard, KJZZ has no intention of doing any multicasting and I don't think they'd want to be on an LPTV channel, which leaves 13.3.

I didn't realize that WeatherStar was no longer being used.

I doubt that KSL would buy a WeatherStar to enable Local on the 8s.
