Hello,

I'm looking to get a DVB-T2 tuner card to add UK Freeview HD to my
mythtv box.

Looking at http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB-T2_PCIe_Cards is seems
that many (the majority even) of the cards there are actually DVB-S2.

Is this a mistake or is there something I don't know (like maybe S2 is
compatible with T2)?

Thanks,
Ian.

That's a mistake - I don't recall that table looking like that when I was looking for one, and S2 is quite definitely not compatible with T2!

I can confirm that the 290e works out of the box with myth with very few problems, however it's well out of production now and you might not be after a USB device. I'm not sure anything else would work without some hacking because last I heard myth doesn't do T2 the proper way using DVBv5 yet, and afaik only the 290e driver has a fudge to allow T2 on v3.
