Sky+HD live pause/playback problems, engineer says...

Hi just had the umpteenth Sky engineer visit today to try and sort the ongoing problems out, just wanted to check out what he told me to see if there is a shred of truth? He says that because we have speaker and a PS3 and an optical switching device in close proximity to the box it causes interference with live pause playback and recording playback which stops and starts and becomes 'blocky' and is unwatchable really. He also told me that because we have a 'top-of-the-line' Belkin router 2m away then this would cause it also......is there any truth in this please. We have had 3 new boxes, new dish, new LNB and new cabelling in the past 14 months.....HELP!! Not all of these things have been near the box until about 8 months ago and the problems started before that.......

    It sounds unlikely, easy to check though, turn all your extraneous kit off and see if the problem goes away.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.
