Reception Question

I live in Providence near RIC, and have only a tv-top antenna. I get ABC, CBS, NBC, CW, PBS & FOX very, very well. I also get the networks out of Boston fairly well. I do not, however, get any reception for ION, or PAX... whatever it is. I think it's supposed to be on channel 69. Is this a very weak signal?
 
WPXQ-TV/DT (ION) channel 69/digital 17 is licensed to Block Island, RI. Their transmitter is down in Exeter, RI to the southwest of Providence. WLNE-TV (ABC) channel 6 has their analog transmitter to the southeast in Tiverton, RI while most of the rest are transmitting from Rehoboth, MA. As for WPXQ having a weak signal? Maybe. When I swing the pair of rabbit ears on my TV here in New Britain, CT towards New London for WHPX-TV/DT (ION) channel 26/digital 34, I end up getting an intermittent signal from WPXQ-TV/DT. Their digital signal is nearly steady too! :)
