It does come in from time to time using a roof antenna. Too lazy to check but I thought Direct Tv carried it also in the Chicago locals but since my receiver maps together the Direct feed and the channels from the antenna together, maybe is why I seen it listed on the guide. I know the last time I was playing with the auto-search on the digital tv using the outside antennas, the digital feed for them came in clear as a bell and thought maybe they were sharing/using the digital channel from one of the others (wciu). Ok, just checked, in my guide it does show 56, 56.1 and 56.2 but 56 is just snow and the two digitals are "no signal" but they are there from the antennas not directv. It's just another PBS affiliate anyway. -bruce bje@ripco.com
