WLIW Digital OTA

Does anyone know if WLIW broadcasts digital subchannels OTA? I live in Jersey City and I can pick up the analog signal of WLIW, but I don't get any digital broadcasts. I know Cablevision in Hoboken carries a few WLIW subchannels so I was wondering if those are only available on cable or if they also broadcast OTA?

Have you tried manually tuning your digital tuner to channel 22? That's WLIW-DT.
Nope, haven't tried that. I have my antenna hooked up directly to my Directv DVR which automatically tunes to digital channels/subchannels through the program guide. I may just be too far away. Based on the coverage map of WLIW on the FCC website, Jersey City is on the western fringe of reception.

Yup. That's why I suggested tuning manually. The signal might be too weak or intermittent to 'catch' the digital tuner's auto scan, but could be at least somewhat viewable if set manually. That's assuming you CAN set the tuner manually, but don't get me started on that. ;)
 
Titan TV shows the regular PBS feed on 21.2 and Create on 21.3. Why there is no 21.1, I don't know. Zap2It shows the same, plus another PBS feed on 21.4 - perhaps PBS-X?
