As Far As I Know w-scan2 is needed to tune DVB-T2
Another DVB-T2 compatible solution (which also supports DVB-T) is t2scan.
This is how I built and invoked it on my Raspberry Pi 2 (using Debian, or 2 different most recent versions of Raspberry OS):
git clone https://github.com/mighty-p/t2scan cd t2scan ./configure make -j$(nproc) ./t2scan -E -d|tee channels.conf
Before this, I had to copy the firmware blob for the Astrometa DVB-T2 adapter to /lib/firmware/dvb-demod-mn88473-01.fw and plug in the USB adapter. For some reason, that firmware is missing from Debian.
Without the firmware, the scan would fail with "no signal" on every channel.
The t2scan program is apparently using LANG or LC_CTYPE to guess the current country, which only works if the locale files have been built. The default (Germany) may be overridden with the -Y flag.
