Hi stevew1,
We might well have completely different problems here, but I have been having a simular problem to you over the last few weeks. I'm mainly getting a blocky picture with the odd sound problem mixed in. So far that I'm aware of its happened to me when watching (LIVE) BBC1, RECORDING ITV1 (my worse) and VOD. From what I can tell it seems to be only during the evening times too.

Having kept an eye on my signal levels, the only thing that I can see that majorly changes are the AGC Signal Level, mine range from 8dBmV to 13dBmV, 10dBmV to 15dBmV, 8dBmV to 13dBmV whereas my SNR's only really range from 32dB to 34dB but mainly stay at 33dB (use to be 34dB, changed ROUND the same time).

I forget when the last box update was but I'm pretty sure it started and has been getting worse not far from there, but other then that I have no idea.

Anyone else getting something like this?
