KNXV-TV has come a long way since its ON-TV service ended. It is an ABC
affiliate today.

yeah, here in LA, ON broadcast over UHF channel 52 and would encrypt their audio as well. by using your basic fine tuning button, we'd get Angels games clear enough to watch, while putting the radio announcers on for the call. however, Selectv didn't encrypt their audio, and by utilizing the same approach, we could watch movies, albeit very hazy and nearly colorless.

@franoosh I've heard about it,it was a pay tv service on WIHT in Arbor Michigan,and served as a competitor to ONTV on WXON.IT or In Home Theatre broadcasted 14 to 20 hours,where as OnTV only broadcasted 7or8 hours a day.IT offered more movies,than ONTV which aired sports and special events,beside films.

I remember when WQTV and WSMW did their subscription broadcasts in the "scrambled" mode. I'd love to see OTA subscription TV make a comeback someday. Maybe, after a TV station signs off at night, they can schedule some subscription TV movies.
-
the scrambling method was so simple that it makes me want to cry. Really, all they did was move the broadcast frequency of the audio, and insert a 15 KHz sine wave into the video signal, which would push the sync signal up just enough that the TV wouldn't be able to find it.
Really, with sync supression, you're making the TV circuitry do all the scrambling for you.

Also, it seems you fixed it

Are you in Phoenix, and did you see what happened in the Big Switch? Channel 3 lost ABC and became a successful independent station. Channel 10 lost CBS, but gained Fox. Channel 5 went from being independent to the CBS affiliate.
Channel 12 kept NBC, but I won't say anything about their newscasts! ;-)

There were many people who, after seeing what was happening, built themselves "descramblers" to watch the signal.

Was the audio in the clear?

When viewing the scrambled signal there was no audio.
