So I can do only this guess:
I changed demod driver to invert the Polarization voltage for a700 card.
This is controlled by member-variable voltage_inverted.
static struct mt312_config avertv_a700_mt312 = {
.demod_address = 0x0e,
.voltage_inverted = 1,
};
Can you try to comment the voltage_inverted line here (saa7134-dvb.c: line
865).
BUT: If this helps we need to find out how to detect which card needs this
enabled/disabled.

Matthias
