It is not only the BBC who are carrying out test trials of DVB-t2.

The DVB-T2 Validation and Verification (V&V) group, coordinated by the
Technical Module TM-T2 working group, completed a very successful Plug
Fest at the RAI Research Centre in Turin last week. DVB-T2, currently
available as DVB BlueBook A122r1, will be published as a formal standard
by ETSI later this year. The aim of the Plug Fest was to validate the
DVB-T2 specification through the interoperability of independent hardware
implementations - and this goal was certainly achieved.

In the Plug Fest there were 6 DVB-T2 Modulators (DekTec, Rhode&Schwarz,
ENENSYS Technologies, TeamCast, BBC, SSBT) and 5 Demodulators (DekTec,
SIDSA, Panasonic, Sony, BBC). Interoperability was tested for several
modes of the DVB-T2 specification.

...

RAI is currently transmitting test DVB-T2 signals from a tower 5km distant
from the RAI Research Centre. The test signals carry 4 HD streams in a
single-PLP mode (256QAM, rate 3/4 FEC) at a total bit rate of 45Mbit/s.
These T2 transmissions were successfully received by four
demodulators/receivers.

Well it is inevitable that eventually you will be able to buy a
USB DVB-t2 tuner stick similar to the ones already available
for just DVB-t. Then you will be able to decode the AC3 audio
and either play it through your 5.1 sound card or pipe it to your
Dolby Digital audio amplifier.

All your set-top boxes and digital TVs will become obsolete by 2010 and
the replacements will be 10x the price you paid before.
