Argh!

It should be hw_sections=0 by default to enable crc checks. But it
seems Holger made this change only for DVB :-(

Well, ideally the crc check should be in the firmware, but I won't
touch that. What should be done is to add the crc check to the
av7110 driver so it works with hw_sections=1, but no one had time
to implement this. So, hw_sections=0 is the workaround to enable
crc checks (the software demux does it).

Changed in CVS.
