Correct.
That is indeed a characteristic of digital encoding.
You have a perfect signal until the error correction is not able to cope with
the bit error rate.
At that point you will have audio/video artefacts or even small outages
(depending on the conditions).
On an analog signal you will hear/see degradation much earlier, but you will
have some form of very staticy signal that you may be able to decode when you
have very bad conditions.
On digital on those conditions you will have no service.
