I understand what you're saying, but in the case of "digital", the amp is largely just to compensate for cable losses. Some people have very long runs... Also, the amp can get the signal over a certain minimum level a particular ATSC tuner needs to lock on, the go/no go level I think you're referring to. As opposed to an analog tuner which will work to some extent with whatever it gets.

My TV can give you the signal strength on a scale of 1-100, Digital only from the antenna. I need about 80 to get a picture, but much less gives me black. On one Baltimore channel (I'm near DC) I can't get a picture, but I can get the station number and call letters (13.1 WJZ-DT), so I'm getting something-signal about 60.
I'm hoping when they do change over, they boost the signal enough for a picture.
