Checked these out and they don't appear to be encrypted. I am getting a 90-92% quality reading from the carrier signal, but it states NO AUDIO/VIDEO.

RADAR
 
Those channels are now on 97W

story time......those 2 channels were on 93 for a long time. Then 93 (G26 at the time) had satellite failure so most everything "abandoned ship" and moved to other satellites. These 2 moved to G16 temporarily.

Then they moved over to 97W (G25 at the time now G19) and hopped on a shared transponder to (assume) save money. Probably same reason why Doc Scott did too :)

As to why its still lit up on G16 I have no idea.

edit:found this little tidbit from their website
NORTH AMERICA
Aghapy TV will be switching to Dish Network soon, currently we don't recommend investing in Free-to-Air equipments since we will stop broadcasting through the current Telstar (Galaxy 25) as soon as the switch to Dish Network is completed.
We will provide more information as soon as it will be available.
