Has the patch been applied already to the stock debian kernel? The
code was committed early in the month (March 8, IIRC). Ubuntu is in
kernel freeze for the next release, so it's possible it just didn't
make the cutoff.

There seems to be a couple of common factors in the problem reports --
marginal or poor signal and using active EIT to get the programme
guide. My signal hovers around 52-64 percent, with a booster. I think
my antenna need replacing. My disconnects reduced quite a bit when I
turned off the Active EIT setting, although i still get disconnected
frequently.

Then again, maybe it's just the alignment of the planets out your way...
