I couldn't make out anything from that page. ;-) But anyway not much of a concern if you have verified the same. I really wonder the cause whether it is really a broadcaster having a wrongly wired modulator. Don't see any reason why there should be inversion in that case of Ku band. Anyway that doesn't matter for many/most demods to do a flip-flop in software, as they can detect an inversion. I guess device specifics should have been hidden in the specific devices only (ie not being able to find many devices that _cannot_ detect an inversion) Though not a big issue, as we have a workaround such that those ones can avoid that unnecessary flip-flop (Usually we do things to make devices that do not work resort to workarounds, but here we have a logic inversion, in this case) It is just that we have to resort to some workarounds, to avoid those funky things being done for all devices, because some really few devices cannot do those.
