Wash,

Wake he not that sleepth because you'll sleep yourself * (direct
kiswahili translation). I quick trip to wikipedia reveals the
following:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVB-T2

 The main purpose of DVB-T is spectrum efficiency and not ease of
ability to watch many programs :-)This is an ITU requirement and we
all must abide by it because, it's impreative that the world frees up
spectrum for LTE and other advancing technologies.

The first standard DVB-T has been improved to come up with T2 and by
visiting the link above you'll see what changes have been made. They
have to do with Modulation and technical capabilities of the standard.
To the best of my ability, DVB-T2 is backward compatible.

The Kenyan implemenation has been pretty smooth with the exception of
all TV stations. They don't update the EPG and what's even worse KTN
over the last week or so has been have serious lag issues. Voice and
Video are totally out of synch with as much as 5 secs. It's my hope
that freedom of media will also come with technical aptitute for the
sake of advancement.

Kenya is currently deploying DVB-T and the expansion phase is
currently going through Expression of Interest with the PS Information
and Communication and aims to cover the entire country.

Hope this helps.
