Well, it's not that bad for me. I do not have regular kernel oops'es, nor 
the other problems you mention.

My application just does not work properly anymore as it is not able to 
read any data from the demux fd's anymore and it is not reliable to tune to 
another transponder. That later sometimes works and the problem solves 
itself, but that is more or less random and might depend on how confused 
the firmware (wild guess .) is.

I can always get stuff running again unloading the driver and reloading it.
