This patch provides support for DVB-T2 in the same way as DVB-S2 is
supported. The drivers for the first DVB-T2 tuners (e.g. PCTV-290)
automatically switched between DVB-T and DVB-T2 so that there was no need
for the application to treat it specially. More recent drivers, such as
that for the Si2168 in the DVBSky T9580 and PCTV 292e require explicit
switching.
There are separate commits for the basic support and for channel scanning.
The channel scanner includes support for editing transports and for a full
scan. The full scan tries to lock each frequency with DVB-T and only tries
DVB-T2 if that fails. This avoids creating duplicate entries when scanning
with a device that ignores the DVB-T/T2 setting and locks to either. There
is currently no support for PLPs (physical layer pipes).
The code for this has been submitted as a GitHub pull request.
