Problems with Sky 1 on Virgin Media Cable

Has anyone else noticed problems with Sky 1 (via Virgin Media SD) over the last few days?

I'm seeing momentary freezes followed by picture tearing, every 5-10 minutes.

All other channels that I watch seem OK (including Sky 2).

Anyone else seeing this?

Thanks

Thanks for the reply. I see you have some HD services - are you watching Sky 1 on SD or HD (I'm seeing the problems on SD)?

Do you mean the are still people watching that show, 5 minutes was more than enough for me.

It would be an improvement and give it some much needed life.
