DVB-T2

Digital Video Broadcasting - Terrestrial version 2 (DVB-S2) is an improved version of the DVB-T standard for digital terrestrial television distribution. DVB-T2 improves the transmission technique giving 30% greater efficiency then DVB-T. DVB-T2 should be able to support the DVB's new Generic Stream Encapsulation, an effective means of delivering IP directly.

DVB-T2 is backward compatible with DVB-T. It can be deployed with the current DVB-T network of transmitters and antennas. DVB-T2 needs a new modulator in the transmitters and consumers will have to buy a new set-top-box.
