That would depend on how the signal is being measured. Multicast signals are not independent of each other. It is my understanding that they are multiplexed. I have never seen a case where one subchannel could be received, but others were too weak to be viewed. To the contrary, if one comes can be received, then they will all be received. Often, only the subchannel identifications get through when the signal is too weak to be viewed. By your own testament, your TV [which cannot record] has no trouble with any of the subchannels.
Since it is virtually impossible to prevent the recording of a signal that is viewable on a computer, my guess is that
Windows Media Center DVR refuses to decode programs whose broadcast flags are set. An undecoded digital program stream probably looks like noise.
