Receiver thresholds

Does anyone have any comparative figures for the thresholds of low threshold digital FTA receivers.
I find that a Panasonic DSB30 outperforms an Echostar AD3000IP but I have not been able to find any published figures that show why this is so.
I have seen figures like 6db mentioned elsewhere as a typical threshold value but wonder if anything better is commercially available.

4dB used to be the limit for analogue receivers. I haven't seen any figures for digital tuners but, in any case, "selectivity" is probably more important than threshold.
