If only live TV is affected, I would suspect a signal issue - normally this manifests itself as pixellation, but freezing & jumping pictures is also possible.
If this theory is correct, OnDemand should be unaffected - can you try watching something from OD and seeing if that has the same problem. Makes no odds what it is, OD comes over your internet connection rather than TV signals - that's the bit that matters.
