That's really poor on Virgin Media's part if true.
There are many reports of wireless issues and some about the routing performance but, if I read your comment correctly, you're streaming from a wired PC to a wired TV (for this latter test) and you still have issues? In this application the SH is just acting as a switch...

I think it's worth starting small and working outwards. Some suggestions (in no particular order):

1. Run a continuous ping from the PC to the TV while streaming and see if you get packet loss when the streaming stutters.
2. Try connecting the TV directly to the PC with a crossover cable.
3. Check your cabling from the PC to the SH. Replace the cable as a test.
4. Replace the SH with another switch (or router acting as a switch) if available, as a test.

If I've misunderstood your setup, please explain precisely what you are trying to do? Watch streamed content from the Internet or from your PC?
