I don't know where KAWB is located. I'm thinking it is located in Brainerd, MN and I think that's too far from Rochester, MN, but not sure. I have a "moved" service address for DirecTV that allows me to watch channel 22, KAWB, which is a PBS station in the Twin Cities market. I'd like to watch it's subchannels too if I could. I have a TiVo Roamio DVR for my off-air antenna, and it was like hell getting them to add KPXM, channel 41, which I do get on occasion. So my question is, would I EVER get this station through my antenna? Or is it too far away. I don't want to waste time trying to get this added to my TiVo database for this area if I'd never get it. Anybody who's around the Minnesota area that has good over-the-air knowledge, and knows where the KAWB towers are located and if I would receive it (I have a great antenna) would be greatly appreciated.
 
No, KAWB is much too far away.

You might see it once in a blue moon via tropo, but not regularly enough for any kind of appointment viewing. Plus, there's a construction permit for a low-power TV station in Rochester on the same channel, and if that lights up before its construction deadline in August, that would be the end of that.

Only 6 and 10 right now are coming in. Could it be the blizzard?
