It would be quite depressing if it was us failing to receive a fainter signal, rather than Voyager failing to send it.

I think the reverse would be more depressing. There will inevitably come a time when the signal will be indiscernible from the background noise.

Is that strictly true? Doesn't it depend on the signal processing power of the receiver?
