Can somebody help me diagnose sound problems?

Hi
I'm using Windows 8 with the Media Centre plug-in.

My problem: After watching live TV (Satellite using TBS 6981 card) for a few minutes, the sound starts to stutter and gradually gets worse until there is no sound. If I simply go up or down a channel, the sound is fine, then it starts to stutter again after a few minutes.

I have the latest drivers installed for the TBS card, the HD on board sound and the motherboard.

Other things like Spotify or iPlayer work faultlessly.

Where do I start my diagnosis?

HELP!

Since everything else works OK, it has to be an issue with the Satellite card or reception.

I didn't mean it to be a wise guy answer. It appears that its not a PC sound hardware or driver problem and its working correctly and just the application, in this case the Satellite card/software/configuration is causing the problem.

It could even be the Satellite receiver or transmission that is causing it.
