Hi,
I'm assuming that VDR-1.7.x can tune into DVB-T2 channels, but it seems that Fedora 16 will still be using VDR-1.6.x. This is probably because VDR-1.7 is a development version, but I'd like to be able to use my PCTV 290e adapter in Fedora. So it looks like the DVB-T2 tuning parameters (QAM_256 support?) are going to need patching from 1.7 into 1.6. Can anyone point out the relevant code, please? I suspect that asking first will be faster... ;-).
Thanks, Chris

I'm not aware of any DVB-T2 specific code in VDR 1.7.x. For DVB-S2 there had to be a special flag and additional tuning parameters. Don't know how this is handled with DVB-T2.

ETSI EN 300 468 still doesn't cover DVB-T2 (but it does cover S2) but by googling for DVB-T2 delivery descriptor I found this PDF:
http://www.dtg.org.uk/dtg/t2docs/Layer%202%20signalling_Simon%20Waller_Sony.pdf
It doesn't go into much detail, including what the identifier code is for that sort of descriptor, but maybe dvbsnoop is already aware of that?

It is part of ETSI EN 300 468 since 1.10.1 (2009-11) but you may have overseen it, as it is in the extended desriptor range, extension descriptor (tag 0x7F), tag extension 0x04.
