Well you are vastly more likely to get a perfect picture with digital than
you were to get a crappy picture with analog from a given transmitter.

A great analog picture seems rare, while a perfect ATSC signal is
quite common.  I think it handles bad signals a lot better than analog
did.

So I do think in almost any cases where you were getting a bad picture
on analog, you would be getting a perfect picture with digital.  It would
have to be rather bad before you lost the signal on digital.
