Hi all!

I recently bought a new TV and choose not to pick a modell with DVB-T2, because we never use any HD-channels... But soon there will be OS in London!!!
So, I want to upgrade my XBMC-system with a DVB-T2 external adapter.

I'm running OpenElec's latest version and read that this adapter should work:

But, before buying this, I have a few toughts:
1. I only find a release of cards from 2010. Why is there such limited availability on DVB-T2 cards?
2. Someone have this at home and can verify that this works?
3. Is there any other recommended DVB-T card which works with Boxer HD(DVB-T2) channels? (Sweden/Denmark)

I have one in my nas running ubuntu. I'm running a 2.6.35 latest kernel so had to apply a patch to get it to work. But seems stable enough. Using it with mythtv.
