11. Those little blocks are digital "snow"

And they have nothing to do with the signal levels you are getting from the cable company. That's snow the cable company is receiving, and is rebroadcasting to you.

Right now many of the locally broadcast digital signals are fairly weak, but the good news is most stations plan to up the power of their digital broadcasts once the changeover is complete and they no longer are broadcasting their analog counterparts. This should result in much cleaner signals for you and most likely no dropouts at all.
