I think I'd be keeping a DVBT2 tuner pretty constantly busy on DVBT2, wouldn't be wanting to waste it's time on DVBT. I suspect it will be expensive to start anyway so adding a much cheaper regular DVBT stick or card for simultaneous SD would be economic.

I only made the comment because the biggest response in the Hauppauge thread seemed to be be "what about a dual tuner?",  my response would be dual tuner will be out by the time a second mux exists ;-)
