Does B&O support DVB-T2 for Beovision 8-40? (Yes I know that the DVB-T standard is supported)

No, the current DVB-HD T/C/S2 from B & O, do not supports  T2.
But B & O are working on a new module with support for T2. !

Sweden does also use DVB-T2 for HD channels. B&O confirms that they are working on a solution, but they cannot give a release date.

Ditto for Finland. New multiplexes will use DVB-T2 and MPEG4 for both SD and HD channels on them. Currently the only TVs with integrated DVB-T2 receivers are from Sony. Plenty of people who think they just bought a state of the art TV will be disappointed when the terrestrial HD broadcasts begin, and they'll be getting an STB again if they want to receive them...

In a nutshell, DVB-T2 differs from DVB-T by using improved modulation techniques. For the same frequency constraints (channel usage), this can be used for either much improved bandwith or more robust transmission. Delivering HD channels over plain DVB-T is quite wasteful. The robustness comes in handy in sparsely populated countries like Finland, where getting proper area coverage quickly gets expensive.

Today Bang & Olufsen has sent a mail to me to tell that DVB-T2 now is supported with the new DVB-HD Mk III module. 🙂

Problem: Channels that er transmitted in DVB-T2 where CI+ is used to copy protect the signal does not work with the software version 0.1.7.2. B&O will probably solve this in a new software version, but no date is available. This is a problem with some of the HD channels here in Sweden. 

The signal can not be decoded.

B&O solution is one of the few that has CI and normal conax slot for pay-tv.

I have tested encrypted CI DVB-T2 signals from TV Viihde (the world championships of track and field) Yle HD channel and it works great and has fantastic picture quality.
