almost correct, but you need to run the DVB-T2 scripts.
I guess the Control Center will be updated tomorrow to support T2 as well to make it more comfortable.

After running scripts:

But no T2 function.

[Sundtek]

You are correct, seems like some images still need some updates (but this is not something we can update in our driver).

VTI does not support DVB-T2 via USB
OpenPLI also has some issue displaying it, OpenPLI allows to scan DVB-T2 transponders
Black Hole image allows to scan and watch DVB-T2 channels

[tappari]

I confirm that it does operate in T2 mode with BlackHole image.

[Sundtek]

OpenPLI also works now. They needed a driver workaround to get it work.

[tappari]

Also OpenViX operates with your latest drivers. Fantastic. Thank you Sundtek!

For me also shows T

Can you try the new installer:

It shows correct now.

Does DVB-T2 work for you? You would be the first one using an XTrend STB with our device.

[tappari]

This stick operates very clever way in my Ultimo. If I set preferred tuner to auto, Ultimo uses A-tuner for DVB-T SD-channels, but when I go to T2 HD channels, it automatically switches to tuner D which is Sundtek. But in DUO2 this does not happen. I have to set Sundtek (tuner C) as preferred tuner. Both boxes have OpenViX version 808 and latest VU+ drivers.

[lex4545]

I can't test that. In the netherlands broadcasting is only T

Hi.

I am trying to get DVB-T2 to work with my Vu+ Duo2 and a Sundtek MediaTV Digital Home III dvb-c/t/t2 usb tuner.

The duo2 is equipped with 4 internal DVB-S2 tuners (2 dual tuners) and one usb MediaTV Digital Home III tuner. I have BlackHole 2.1.5 installed. The usb drivers in the duo2 is installed with Sundtek Software Installer. The usb tuner is configured as dvb-t2 in Sundtek Control Center.

If I search for terrestrial channels which are dvb-t and choose dvb-t as search setting, the usb tuner discovers channels and I am able to watch those channels on the duo2. If I try to search for dvb-t2 channels and choose dvb-t2 or dvb-t as search settings, nothing is found on the dvb-t2 frequency.

If I list the available tuners in the duo2 I get this:

NIM Socket 4 has not complete information. Does this indicate problems with the usb tuner?

[Sundtek]

Use DVB-T and not DVB-T2 in the settings.

DVB-T2 is tunneled through DVB-T with those tuners, the DVB-T2 setting requires exact transponder informations - while in "DVB-T" Mode most transponder settings are discovered automatically.

The incomplete settings are ok -- this is not related to our driver but to the VU+ broadcom interface drivers (so we cannot change anything there anyway)
