Does Roll-up 2 improve/fix "Loss of Signal" error???

I see the "loss of signal" error in lots of postings in this group.
>>From what I read here, the consensus is that this is NOT a problem with
the cable signal coming into the PCs TV tuner card so an signal
amplifier would not help.
One poster suggested a disk defrag. I did that and it seemed to help
but I am still getting the error every few days or so. Also got a
suggestion to update the tuner card drivers which I still do need to
do. But has microsoft acknowledged and addressed this issue at all?
Do I want to do this roll-up 2 update?
Any other advice to fix this problem is appreciated.

The errror message that I receive most often is:
"Loss of Signal. Media Center has stopped capturing data due to
low data rate in
the TV signal. This may be a temporary situation. If this persists,
make sure the cable for the TV signal is connected properly, restart
the
computer, and then try tuning to a channel.":
