You miss the point. With a distant weak broadcast that shows much
snow but is still viewable in NTSC his ability to receive that same
weak broadcast in ATSC will be less. ATSC will work with a lower
signal to noise ratio than NTSC but it has a minimum requirement
before it suddenly stops working. NTSC is different. It slowly fades
into snow.

It all depends on your tolerance for snow. You can get a watchable but
snowy picture from a distant NTSC station that wouldn't even register
on an ATSC set.
