Tests
### Tests

Prototype receivers were shown in September IBC 2008 and more recent version at the IBC 2009 in Amsterdam. A number of other manufacturers demonstrated DVB\-T2 at IBC 2009 including Albis Technologies, Arqiva, DekTec, Enensys Technologies, Harris, Pace, [Rohde \& Schwarz](/wiki/Rohde_%26_Schwarz "Rohde & Schwarz"), Tandberg, Thomson Broadcast and TeamCast. As of 2012, Appear TV also produce DVB\-T2 receivers, DVB\-T2 modulators and DVB\-T2 gateways. Other manufacturers planning DVB\-T2 equipment launches include Alitronika, CellMetric, Cisco, Digital TV Labs, Humax, NXP Semiconductors, Panasonic, ProTelevision Technologies, Screen Service, SIDSA, Sony, ST Microelectronics and [T\-VIPS](/wiki/T-VIPS "T-VIPS"). The first test from a real TV transmitter was performed by the *[BBC Research \& Development](/wiki/BBC_Research_%26_Development "BBC Research & Development")* in the last weeks of June 2008 using channel 53 from the [Guildford](/wiki/Guildford "Guildford") transmitter, southwest of London: BBC had developed and built the modulator/demodulator prototype in parallel with the DVB\-T2 standard being drafted. Other companies like ENKOM or IfN develop software (processor) based decoding.

NORDIG published a DVB\-T2 receiver specification and performance requirement on 1 July 2009\. In March 2009 the [Digital TV Group](/wiki/Digital_TV_Group "Digital TV Group") (DTG), the industry association for digital TV in the UK, published the technical specification for high definition services on digital terrestrial television (Freeview) using the new DVB\-T2 standard. The DTG's test house: DTG Testing are testing Freeview HD products against this specification.

Many tests broadcast transmission using this standard are being in process in France, with local Gap filler near Rennes CCETT.

DVB\-T2 was tested in October 2010, in Geneva region, with Mont Salève's repeater, in UHF band on Channel 36\. A mobile van was testing BER, strength, and quality reception, with special PCs used as spectrum analysers, constellation testers. The van was moving in Canton Geneva (Switzerland), and France (Annemasse, Pays de Gex). However, none were demonstrated in TELECOM 2011 at Palexpo.
