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?

I have superhub connected to PC running windows 8 via Ethernet cable. I have a Samsung TV connected to the Shub ethernet port. I have a PS3 connected to Shub via wireless. I have Samsung smart TV connected to Shub via wireless. All of those are being used to access files on PC via homegroup (usually only one device streaming via homegroup at any one time, not all at once!).
It all works fine until the connection to the media server (pc) gets lost at random times. Also, Lovefilm lost connection half way through a movie last night. The TV streaming Lovefilm was the one connected via ethernet.
As part of my setup, I also have a kindle fire, an ipad, 2 ipod touch, and 2 mobile phones connected via wireless, but obviously those devices don't access the media server.
By the way, I'm thinking of buying this router :

Good choice of router?
