I use a TBS620 dual-tuner DVB-T/DVB-T2 PCIe card which does both
standard and HD. Unfortunately the drivers are not included in the
main Linux kernel. TBS do release updates to their drivers twice a year
or so but sometimes there is a little messing around needed to get them
to compile with very recent kernels.

This is not the case any more. Hannington has two HD MUXes running right now.
