1. A method of checking digital information for a transmission error, comprising the steps of:
a) receiving said digital information, said digital information comprising a plurality of data portions and a further portion containing data and non-data, each of the data portions and the further portion having a fixed first length;
b) removing said non-data from the further portion to generate a remainder having a second length less than said fixed first length;
c) adding a zero-pad vector to said remainder to generate a zero-padded data portion having said fixed first length; and
d) checking said plurality of data portions and said zero-padded data portion for a transmission error.
