Perhaps I'm missing something here, but it seems the OP is in the UK. If that is 
the case, then the fact he is using a DVB-T2 stick is immaterial since all radio 
channels are carried on a DVB-T mux.

I have a 290e nanostick and it is quite capable of tuning DVB-T as well as 
DVB-T2. (Indeed, it can also tune DVB-C allegedly, though you can't do that in 
the UK because of Virgin Media's DRM.)

The OP's problem might be in switching the reception between a DVB-T2 mux and a 
DVB-T one.
