The problem is that, if it drops just too low, it falls off the "digital cliff".

The SNR reading isn't really a signal power meter for measuring the signal levels.

Understood! That is helpful. After my initial scan, I only have one channel that has failed to come in all the time. I hope that NBC (41.1) will continue to stay on the right side of the digital signal "cliff edge". :)
