i believe, it should be the same in italy.. but i like to be
"future-proof" when purchasing new stuff.

so this kind of DVB-T card are not actually supported by the linux driver?

anyway, are there DVB-T devices ALREADY on the market using DiB7000, in
the enanced 4K version, or they are just the old 2k-8k only version?

do you have a dump of a complete TS of such a "DVB-H like" transmission?

or, maybe, someone else living in berlin (or where there are trials
ongoing, in finland..) can dump a sample TS (for example 2-3 minutes)

if yes, could you put it on some website and tell me?

i'd like to give a quick glance to the encapsulation and the h264 encoding..
