Not entirely true. First off all of the lower tier channels on most
cable systems are still analog so they will be pretty sensitive to
signal strength. Secondly, while digital signals don't gradually degrade
in picture quality like analog ones do, there is still a threshold point
where reception will be marginal and the picture will show significant
digital artifacts due to dropouts.
