I think DVB-T2 has only just been ratified as a standard (if at all).

Strictly T2 is not needed for HD, Freeview in NZ operates HD over
DVB-T. However if Freeview UK has chosen to use T2 its going to be a
period of pain while cards and drivers become available.

I suspect the open source programmers will be on to it as soon as they
can. DVB-S2 drivers work already.
