Qubo & ion Life gone from KPXB?

Noticed this morning, 49.2 & .3 have been shut off on the OTA digital converter box. That makes 49 a rarity here in Houston, a station with no subchannels. Did this only happen to us, or is ion dropping the subs in other markets too?
 
WHPX-TV (ION) channel 26 of New London, CT still shows all subchannels, including QVC Over-The-Air on channel 26-5.
 
KPXD/68 in Dallas still has all five subchannels - plus a few encrypted Airbox subchannels (even though they don't sell Airbox here).

IIRC Ion has a second (LP) station in Houston. (Can't remember the channel or call letters.) They do sell Airbox in Houston, so Ion may have decided to dedicate KPXB to just the main Ion channel plus the many Airbox channels (which your converter box won't show). The subs are probably still on their second station, if you can receive it.
 
These 2 channels are now 46.2 & 46.3 I do not know why they were moved. Also 26 does not have any sub channels either
 
Nope, can't get KBPX-LP where I am. 49 is always in the 80-90% signal range, but nary a peep from the low power station. KBPX is a pretty minimal signal down here. I'm a little surprised they moved the two subs on to it.

KPXB Ch 49

KPXB completely disappeared from my LG TV listings in late October. Channel 46 is suppose to be replacing it, but there's no signal coming in to my 77082 residence across from Cullen Barker Reservoir. I was hoping to get better reception in the winter months -- but channels are dropping off or showing very weak signals.
