content: But almost none of the common SDR softwares do DVB-T or DVB-T2, which was the question asked.The original Mirics software meant for receiving television is harder to find than the n+1 sdr softwares that support the chipset via the sdrplay api or libmirisdr.I can't imagine there was a huge amount of the original msi2500 + msi001 based DTV sticks made.

content: i edited my previous postyes a lot of theses gained tons of popularity to receive mostly radio bands, ham stuff, for tv it was more obscurmany broadcast systems are or did send in digital "air" mode for a while, say in Canada, but most are now dead, it may depend of the countries around the world ...they focus on cable or fiber systems, satellite is still going but i don't know what's left of theses systemsmaybe the @OP UK avatar want free tv ??

content: I did have a cheap dvt stick/dongle a few tears ago, it died, i lost the disk that had the software on it, the sw was trial and only lasted about a month before it had to be reinstalled to work!, if i could remember what it was called i could search for it to try it, as is it works fine for radio using sdruno, but that doesent work for dvt decoding.
