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.
OK - Three seperate problems to solve then, your LAN, wireless and your internet connection. You need to remove some variables to progess...

Streaming from your PC to your wired TV needs to be sorted first (as per tips above) as then you'll have two reliable devices to use for further investigation into the other issues.

We're you watching Lovefilm on your wired TV?

The problems you have are not yet pinned down to the SH. Think of it as having three functional blocks:

1. Network switch - Your using this to stream from the PC to the wired TV
2. Wireless gateway - Your using this to stream from the PC to wireless devices
3. Modem/Router - Your using this for the Internet.

You need to diagnose issues with all three functions indpendently...
