Could Proppin' or someone else with the knowledge be able to give any clues as to what this means.
Maybe it means that our boxes are taking over the world by sapping up everyone's Signal Levels. 
Sorry - Uni Finals on - head well and truly pickled.  (Roll on Monday when it'll be all over forever!! - I Hope).

This is my theory on it (originally posted to DS back in March, responding to a signal level of 16777193):
Are you sure this isn't a software bug? If the agc signal level was stored as a 24-bit integer, then the number shown above is only 23 short of the absolute maximum. (24-bit ints can represent 16777216 distinct numbers). Is it not possible that the system worked out the signal level to be -24, causing the int to roll over below 0, as shown above?
Of course, that could just be a big coincidence!
