Default NPR from the USA on ExpressVu&StarChoice

Looking for a quick helping hand here from our neighbors to the North:

Both ExpressVu and Star Choice claim to be offering subscribers our public radio programs from the USA. Star Choice says they're putting our station KPBX from Spokane, WA on their channel #833 (which provides all our major news shows, but with the three hour time handicap for listeners in the East). But, ExpressVu on its latest channel guide says that their channel #965 is "NPR (National Public Radio)." Given that NPR is not feeding them a program stream, they have to be taking down a station. Could somebody with the service please check #965 and let me know which NPR station is being relayed? Also, is there NPR on their channel #966?

The info can help NPR to inform would-be listeners in Canada. Thnx.

Default What's with #965?

Thanks for the prompt response. Sorry to drag you away from the video side of the service to service our need for knowledge.

Could i just trouble you to tell me what station they're using to feed channel #965, which they label only as "NPR?"

Many thanks again for the assist.
