I just checked tvrosat and fount these stations already exist. So now my question is how come after multiple blind scans of 99.2 over the last couple of months all of a sudden this transponder is appearing with these PBS stations?

The PBS mux boosted their SQ on Wednesday (as well as the addition of Montana PBS) and now most of us can now get it, whereas before few were able to scan it in. There is a thread about it in the What's Up There section of the forum.

If you don't have access, you need to tag a mod and ask for it.

Today I blind scanned 99.2W a couple of times and now I received a Fox news feed and another with Fox weather. And now a few minutes ago I got a bunch of radio stations as well. Is 99.2W going through some sort of upgrade? Can I expect to receive even more channels over the next couple of days?

99 picked up some feeds that had been on 91, and also recently PBS from 125 (as you've noticed). It's always had wild feeds from Fox. There also used to be a 2-channel, 24/7 Fox mux also, but I'm not sure if that is still there or not.

It will be interesting to see if more channels are added. I have same Ku dish as you and having more channels would make this cool set up.
