It has been done some work (and effort), to prove its having positive effect. you should allways have more then 1000 stations at any time on that SAT, if you see that maximum number of stations is somewhere at 1600. everything around 400 is broken hardware or driver. Please dont consider his post as single experience of a single user. The general perception was more like "Wow i can finally use that card and don't throw it away." from 10+ Users which i know of. So no matter if its considered done right or not. The tuning patch is out of question of improving the usability of the affected cards. The request has been, to prove that the changes at the stb6100 is not enough to actually fix the problem. This prove has been done now . The changes on the stb6100 is not enough, the changes at the stb0899 still has quite positive effect. So taking into account that the patch improves situation and doesn't have negative side effects for others, it might be wise to consider inclusion of the patch, even if it might not be the perfect solution from technical/theoretical perspective. I dont want to complain until the patch is in, its just: We have a problem, we have a solution. Lets use it and make this hardware useful for the people and lets do it right when time permits. There is still a handful of other patches for the same hardware floating around to improve other parts of that driver. I mean this hardware is known to work "less then perfect" since years, really. So please do something about it. Accept the helping hands.
