At 1 april 2014 Sweden are closing down old digital systems.
I think Sweden are going to use only DVB-T2 from 2014-04-01.

Sweden skips the pain of DVD-T and goes into more mature DVB-T2
and take the advantages of equipment widely available - wise choice.

AIUI Sweden are not skipping DVB-T1, indeed they're fully DSO'd
and running with it now ?

Oh, Sweden in fact started early but UK catches up faster.

Are Germany and France using DVB-T2 for their HDTV already?

No, nobody is using DVB-T2 yet

France is using MPEG4 for their pay channels, but with DVB-T1, don't
know about Germany.

On the DigiTV forum someone reported (2nd October) that they had
asked the question of Blackgold.tv - a UK company designing and
marketing PC home entertainment equipment. The OP was asking about a
DVB-T2 tuner for a PC. This was the answer:

"Unfortunately DVB-T2 is a peculiarly UK rollout. The UK is currently
the only place worldwide with near term plans to use T2. This means
that there is no worldwide drive for chipset manufacturers to provide
DVB-T2 solutions and none are currently available for the PC arena."

A further quote stated: "Looks like there are only 3 countries that
have confirmed DVB-T2: UK, Serbia and Finland."

Well it is new (I think some of the development is quite close to
technologies that were included in DVB-S2) somebody has to go first,
there are downsides to that (think the 2K/8K issue as a price for early
adoption of DVB-T1) if it was done properly there could be upsides to it
for Uk companis, but whenever I've heard names of suppliers for
pre-production DVB-T2 kit, they don't sound too local :-(

A Card for PC users is already available;
