Do you know if the same tuner sold in rest of EU is working in UK? That will mean that DVB-T tuner for AzBox is DVB-T2 compatible...

Any1 in UK with DVB-T tuner on AzBox HD?

I have not come across anyone I know that has managed to obtain an add on tuner. Previous posts have suggested that a trickle of dvb-c and dvb-t are available in stores in Portugal and dvb-s2 in Germany? A website based in ROI had advertised some but now 'sold out.' I tried a google search but found no one advertising as having any stocks in Europe at all! Our sponsor has never had any advertised as being in stock yet.
I would assume that they would be similar to PC dvb-t cards and should work in the UK on current SD transmissions (unlikely to be compatible with future HD transmissions unless using mpeg2 rather than mpeg4).
Any one in the uK have an additional card?

DVB-T and DVB-T2 are different animals

As far as I'm aware the T2 spec hasn't yet been finalised

BE-COOL who is in Portugal recently acquired a T2 tuner, but has not yet reported on how well it worked / or not ... as the case may be.
