understanding adsl box activity logs

Hi

My tv is often flashing up message 'your a not connected to the internet' followed by 'you are now connected to the internet'

Browsing often seems to hit pause, sometimes saying 'no longer connected to internet'

The activity log in sky adsl box says this:

Is this normal, or is log showing constant dropping of sync?

Thought would ask for advice here before trying NowTV...

I thought these messages were associated with the inward facing ethernet port(s) rather than the ADSL service itself, someone else may be able to confirm.

There seems to be a sky outage this morning affecting some customers:

Yes a LAN port is flapping around, nothing to do with the ADSL side

Pluging the cable to the TV into a different port on the router and unpluging and repluging in the ethernet cable into TV could be step 1.
