I believe this problem started with the 6.10, but not certain.
If the last OTA channel viewed can't lock onto a signal, then the
current VOOM channel being viewed will have audio and video cutouts
every 10 seconds or so (very annoying).
For example, I go to OTA channel 58-1 and for whatever reason the
signal is not strong enough to get a lock. I then switch to 601 (or
any VOOM channel). I will get the periodic dropouts. If 58-1 had
been coming in fine in the above example, I'd have no dropouts.
There is of course a workaround - always make sure the last OTA
channel viewed is a strong reliable one.
A couple of other problems I've noticed since the upgrade:
1. I still occasionally get lockups requiring a reset. Usually
happens when channel surfing.
2. Also while surfing, the channel I stop on will sometimes have
audio but no video. Going up a channel and then back down fixes this.
3. In the SYSTEM STATUS menu, the last screen indicates that you can
use either the down or up arrows (it used to be only the up arrow).
There is no next screen if you push the down arrow, and this seems
to temporarily lock the system up. It eventually recovers after 20
seconds or so.
4. No guide info for newly scanned OTA channels.
Other than that I like and appreciate the new features, especially
the OTA scanning. Keep it coming.
