I agree with you reslfj. Most of what goes into print regarding the analogue-digital transition borders on peddling of misinformation.
If I had a way of holding a loaded gun to the policy-makers heads, I'd just give one order: DVB-T2!.
We, the 3rd world countries are in the enviable position of being able to jump onto mature and at times superior technologies by learning from the 1st world early adopters; but hey, we often are fixated on watching their butts - following exactly the same path as they did!

DVB-T2 receivers can receive both -T and -T2, but DVB-T receivers cannot receive DVB-T2. So that one is a 'No'.
On the above, I meant to bring out this:
a.) If we follow the ITU-T proposals, then T&T2 would run alongside each other for a while. (We already have T on air). Hence Alpha2 has nothing to worry about.
b.) Assuming we ignore the ITU-T proposal and choose to go purely DVB-T2, then as everyone else looks for an analogue to DVB-T2 converter, (Not sure if they are there yet) Alpha2 would be looking for a DVB-T to DVB-T2 converter. That's according to my interpretation of the commercial write-up below:

Or am I just riding on false hope here?
