There are indeed a few DVB-T2 PCIe cards that are supported (DVBSky T9580, T980C, T982C, TechnoTrend CT2-4500 CI, Hauppauge HVR-2205, Hauppauge HVR-5525 at least come to my mind). PCTV 290e is a USB device, not PCIe. In the wiki there's currently some issue with the filtering when it comes to the tables - that's why every PCIe device is printed instead of just the DVB-T2 supporting ones. As Jemma points out, the application should be clever enough to tell the driver that DVB-T2 delivery system is wanted. For the cxd2820r driver (PCTV 290e) Antti made the "fudge", but has decided not to implement it in the Si2168 driver (reasoning, to which I wholeheartedly agree, is here: http://blog.palosaari.fi/2014/09/linux-dvb-t2-tuning-problems.html ). When it comes to PVR backends, at least tvheadend supports DVBv5 fully - I don't have a clear picture of other backends.
