Default North Korea

With such a tight grip and their TV stations more then likely still analog, how does the Koreans deal with ducting? I'm curious If they ever seen TV from Seoul or any near by countries during the right conditions? Also, do we know how much power their TV stations send out? Probably lots and lots

Does the average "Joe" have a TV at home in DPRK? I bet getting caught DXing would land you in a concentration camp.

That's stupid but a fact of life there.

I know it happens especially in an analog realm - but then again, i bet they have TV only in the capitol city.

They probably do it similar to how they used to in Cuba, very strong stations where authorized and transmitters on standby on the foreign channels that they can turn on when the skip rolls in to jam the foreign signals, err enhance signal coverage of the local stations by adding extra channel coverage (after all, they would never actually do any jamming since that would be wrong!).

According to North Korean officials, there are no other TV stations and only North Korea has access to advanced technology known as television broadcasting. So I suppose there is nothing for their citizens to worry about
