This should result in a CRC of 0 (or some other value, often all 1s). The value in the CRC field is chosen so that the value of the final crc will be zero (or whatever it's supposed to be). _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
