Sport 1 Germany is a FTA, Free to Air channel, if the picture, and sound, is breaking up then either it's a problem your end or the station is experiencing problems.
What are your signal strength/quality readings?

That quality reading is very poor, considering how powerful Astra 1, 19.2E, is, depending on your general location and size of dish.
Is it a fixed dish or motorized set up?

moved to dish forum
no problem at all here in the uk using a spiderbox on td110 triax dish and 0.2 lnb , signal 72% and quality 86% , stable with excellent lock
its also ok on an 80cm multi lnb system so in the uk a 39cm or 59cm dish should be ample
has to be a problem with your boxes , dish alignments , or locations
not sure what sort of reception you would get in malta , so check lyng sat maps
here in the uk there should be no problem at all , but Malta !! for a german channel !! maybe not
conclusion , live in uk and use a spiderbox :D
or as Phil and Kirsty WOULD SAY , Location, Location, Location

SAME problem on all these above mentioned channels, so that means it is a problem with this frequency since all other channels are all right.
thanks all for help. don't see any way out of this then. regards to all.

This sounds like the curse of the DECT phone to me. Try unplugging the power from any cordless phone bases in the vicinity, see if the channels come back.
DECT phones are known to interfere with 11630-11650MHz transponders on low band, and 12480-12500MHz transponders on high band.
If it cures the problem, try routing the sat cable well away from the phone base station, and any phone wiring.

I'd go with Sparky_dog on this.
Simple quick check: turn off the DECT base station move the handset well away.
If you haven't got a DECT phone, are you close to a neighbours house that does have one?
If yes, is your dish near to his phone base station?
If yes again, you may need better coax - top quality double screened - or a worst case, re-site the dish.
Oooops posted at the same time as the one above - never mind.
