Screen interference?

Recently my tv screen has become pixalted for about 2-10 + seconds at a time during viewing often a dozen times on a 1 hour show .which it seems to be mostly recordings. Not always the same channel or show .various times Purley 100%  random .never know when or how often i will happen  has anyone got an idea whats causing this ?

    Hard to guess without more information. 

    Which TV box do you have. How is it connected to the Hub. Do other devices have intermittent connections.

        If the interruptions only happen on playback the most likely cause is a failing hard disk. This will mean replacing the V6 box, so you will lose any existing recordings.
