Sean, Conjuror: Did you try tdillons idea?

I saw a theory proposed in another thread which I believe may have some merit. If the last OTA channel that you tuned is marginal, it may be affecting your ability to lock on a satellite channel also. Often my wife will change from channel 7.1 (KABC Los Angeles) which is one of my weaker OTA stations and then cruise the VOOM channels. There can be a lot of audio dropouts or video blackouts. I think that if she left the OTA tuner on channel 4.1 which is a stronger station, maybe the satellite channels wouldn't experience the problems.
It could be coincidence, but it made my problems go away.

I was having the exact same problem. I did multiple soft reboots (pressing and holding the power button) and it did nothing.
I took the advice on this thread and unplugged the Voom STB for 1 min or so and replugged it in and it has worked fine since with no issues.
Thanks and good luck.

I'm having lots of sound and video dropouts since the upgrade and its driving me crazy
1080i & component hokup
1080i & component hokup
Version 5.68 / DVI / 1080i / 29" Oval
Watched TV for over two hours straight without problem. Receiver required unplug when I got home, then again when I plugged in the phone line.
Seeing the posts, maybe I do not want the upgrade...

Yes, this worked for me too. Please see this thread.
Random Drops In Feed; Wed July 28 2125 PDST
POSTED AT: 2125 PDST
I am experiencing random drops at about 1 minute apart on the west coast on all satellite channels. OTA is unphased.
Signal is steady at 94.
Clear skies... no weather issues. Perhaps boomers in the East?
This just began about thirty minutes ago.
Received 1.10, 6.10 072704 and did not experience problems until now.
Don't think it is related.

All my OTA signals are at >90. I'm experiencing the AV drops. Hard reboot sometimes helps, sometimes it doesn't. Could be problem with software, solar activity, blah..blah..blah. Just make it go away!!!!
