No signal from 52-1 to 52-5 in northern Milwaukee County

I heard about the new channels 52-1 to 52-5 being added to the digital lineup and I cannot receive any of those channels.  I can get analog channel 52 but the digital shows no signal.  Is it that the digital signals aren't operational yet or am I too far away from picking up the digital signal?  Anyone else with the same issue?

According to the FCC, they broadcast out of Mayville, WI at 300 kW.

According to the service area map on the FCC's website, that should cover all of Dodge, Jefferson, Fond Du Lac, and Washington counties, most of Waukesha county, and the northern half of Milwaukee county.

I don't actually have a digital tuner myself, so I can't verify (and being in southern Waukesha county, I might be in the 'fringe' area for their signal.)

ETA: They do have an application into the FCC to bump their signal up to 1000 kW, post transition. It hasn't been approved yet by the FCC.

I get zero digital signal and I'm up in Jackson.. but then I have my antennae aimed south east. Maybe if/when they bump to 100 kw... but then TBN isn't really my cup of tea.
