Like for any other radio, it depends on the bandwidth of the signal.  
That is why sensitivity is properly expressed as a noise figure -- it is 
the only universal measure of weak signal performance.  The TVRX has a 
noise figure of about 10 dB.  The theoretical best noise figure possible 
is 0 dB.
