Does VLC Support DVB-T2 (German specification)

Hello,

I have posted some time ago (in 2014) a guide of how to use VLC as TV-set in order to show DVB-T broadcastings.
This seems not to work for DVB-T2 broadcasting. German DVB-T2 is slightly different from DVB-T2 streams of other countries
(e.g. France and Great Britain - probably also Austria and Switzerland it uses 1920x1080 pixel sized progressive images compressed with H.265 (HEVC) Codec ).
It tells me in the error list, that my Capture Device does not support the specified options although this device
( Terratec CinergyT2 Stick BDA Filter ) perfectly works with the DVB-Viewer Pro V6.0.4.0. in Germany.

Is there somethig specific, that has to be kept in mind, when trying to show German DVB-T2 broadcasting.

Many thanks in advance for any hints
Wolfgang

Hi
Maybe its better to talk in German. Sry for all nativ English speaking people my English is worse...

So man in deutsch theoretisch sollte es funktionieren wenn du einen H.265 (HEVC) codeq am Pc hast den der VLC kennt.
Hast du mal geschaut ob du anderweitig DVB-T schauen kannst (wenn es noch lauft)?
Ich versuche das immer noch zu verstehen wie es lauft aber bei uns in AT funktioniert es mit der Config:

#EXTM3U
#-------
#EXTINF:1,TVChannel
#EXTVLCOPT:dvb-bandwidth=8
#EXTVLCOPT:program=
dvb-t://frequency=730000000
#-------
#EXTINF:1,TV1
#EXTVLCOPT:dvb-bandwidth=8
#EXTVLCOPT:program=14107
dvb-t://frequency=498000000

14107 = PID wie du die her bekommen kannst kann ich dir noch erklären.
