Isn't digital broadcast the same as digital video tapes? If I make 100
copies of a VHS tape (using the previous copy to make the next copy) the
100th tape will have a very weak signal and will be unwatchable. But
with a digital video tape, the hundredth generation tape will have a
very weak signal, but will give a perfect picture.
By this analogy, a digital broadcast could be weaker than its analog
equivalent, and still give a better picture. Am I wrong in this
thinking?

Digital needs a lot of power because you cant get a poor digital
picture.
You either get a good picture or you get a blank screen and no sound.
