Muzak is now using satellite
to broadcast their service.

Anyone know what bird they might be on? Encrypted I would emagine?

Muzak is NOT encrypted. They are on satellite G3 (Galaxy 3) on Ku
band using an analogue subcarrier scheme called "FM Squared". These
are subcarriers, similar to the subcarriers that are commonly used on
analogue satellite stations except that they are in the range of 0 MHz
to 5.8 MHz instead of the commonly available 5.8 MHz to 8.2 MHz range.

I believe that all of these Muzak services are on Galaxy 3 Ku band
channels 3 and 16.

There used to be a couple of adaptors available for outboard satellite
stereo units that would allow you to tune this range. I have one from
a company called "Universal" that adapts my outboard Drake SA-24
satellite stereo decoder to tune FM2. I remember that it cost about
$100 when I bought it in the early '90's.

Hope this helps,

Fred E.
