KBPX-LP channel 33 -Houston

Sorry...can't say I watch KPXB or KPBX. I only have a digital OTA tuner and KPXB-DT's signal cannot be received beyond the fence around the transmitting tower.

It had snow on the screen when it was on. What's your point? ;)

Seriously no idea, signal's always been crappy from North Houston to Clear Lake.

It does have a permit to convert to digital operation on the same channel, maybe they completed that change?
 
I noticed Ch. 33 off over the weekend, but was back on analog Monday morning. Interestingly enough, since we're on the subject of LPs I noticed that Ch. 30 was simulcasting Ch. 20 on Sunday late night. I checked it Monday morning and the signal was so bad I couldn't make out what was on. What is the deal with that? Fox couldn't have bought another station could they?

Was it "MY" programming or Guthy-Renker/informercial junk. I've seen the same paid programming on as many as 4 OTA channels at once.
 
Steven, you probably hit the nail on the head with the Gunthy-Renker info junk. I found it odd as could be that the same programming was on at the exact same time, running simultaneously. Not even a delay that I could see between the two.
 
Does Guthy-Renker still have their own infomercial channel? If so, maybe they buy time on local stations and have them carry the satellite feed for that infomercial, instead of sending them a tape.
