... Because the error is happening above this level. The specific cards 
I have the issue with are 'fully featured' cards, which use an ARM CPU 
with firmware that does the section filter. Daniel is suggesting that 
the card is rewriting the section incorrectly in the filter.

I'm not completely convinced of this, since dvbsnoop seems to show the 
right CRC value.
