Yes, it does not help or at least it doesn't solve the issue completely. I have seen a crash with the patch applied. I also think that it is to early to say it cures the problem. The longest period I've seen without disconnect were 10 days (median 3-5 days). I'm not sure that heavy usage triggers the problem. I've seen it only with the MythTV eit scan which uses tunes only every 5 minutes to a different channel and reads pids with a low data rate. It's occurs also if Mythtv uses only one frontend. I couldn't trigger the disconnect with dvbscan on both frontends in a loop for 6 hours. Since one week I have a test system running. Unfortunately I haven't seen a disconnect there. I added my second card to the system this morning and it is still running fine. The production box had disconnects within 3 hours with both cards. So I'm not entirely sure that the test system suffers also from the disconnects. The obvious differences between the test and production box are single athlon64 on a nvidia nforce4 board in the test system and dual core Athlon64 on via k8t800 pro.
