with them.
CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check)

Defragmentation
The process of rewriting parts of a file to contiguous sectors on a hard disk
to increase the speed of access and retrieval. When files are updated, the
computer tends to save these updates on the largest continuous space on the
hard disk, which is often on a different sector than the other parts of the file.
When files are thus “fragmented,” the computer must search the hard disk
each time the file is accessed to find all of the file’s parts, which slows down
response time.
DVB (Digital Video Broadcast)
A project group of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU).
DVB-MG
Digital Video Broadcasting - Measurement Guidelines.
DVB-SI (Digital Video Broadcast Service Information)
The DVB-SI adds the information that enables DVB IRDs to automatically
tune to particular services and allows services to be grouped into categories
with relevant schedule information. It has several tables, including: NIT,
SDT, BAT, and EIT. (NIT is also required for MPEG-2.)
