I am pretty sure that they will be as I was part of the trial quite a while ago and I am pretty sure it was MPEG4 over DVB-T2.
I still have the pre-release box but there isn't a signal from my transponder anymore

Apologises I was in MUST GOOGLE THIS AND FIND OUT MORE BECAUSE IT AFFECTS MY BOTTOM LINE mode... also known as the "Aww F***" moment. I will continue to call it T2 from now on.
Right, is there a possible that a driver / firmware update could provide T2 ability on some (not all, obviously) TV cards, or will I need to replace the TV cards?
That is likely right, but in saying that, there is a lot of crap on television over here. PriceDropTV to name one. If these channels were dropped you would have the spectrum as well!
I understand all this, but MCE in 7 covers most of the common issues. Issues I have noted is that you can't use a dual tuner hybird card in hybird mode. It must be Analog or Digital.
It was all 4 channels as I understand it. But that is anadotiatal.
Makes sense, althrough it is annoying. Couldn't they put one "sample" HD channel up? it'd be a good way to show people why they should upgrade to DVB-T2 equipement.

I'm not sure. The tuner is the same as it is the same frequencies as DVB-T, the demodulator would need to be changed though. I know a lot of digital cards are partially software based (something which has caused the Linux DTV driver guys a ton of head ache) and need firmware sent to them by the driver to function. Whether this can be modified to enable DVB-T2 I have no idea. Although that may explain the apparent lack of hardware development. If there is a software fix for some cards (definitely not all) this would be a massive boon.
But they are ovbiously commercially successful, or they wouldn't exist.
There isn't any space! the DTV platform is tight enough as it is, without trying to shoe horn even a single HD stream in there.
Ya wouldn't have experience with a TV card conflicting with a sound card. This is my current nightmare issue. On my HTPC the same card is all find and dandy, but on my primary rig, it just hates me. I've moved it to a cooler slot, I've fixed the drivers, I've fixed the inital signal issue, but now, it crashes when I try and change the channel. And by the sounds of it the OP is having the same issue. THANK YOU ASUS XONAR!

There would be space once they free up the orignal analogue spectum... but oh wait, aren't they selling those?

While I appreciate there's probably a wealth of information in the posts since my own last one, I'm even more confused now so can I reiterate my original question - is there a dual-tuner (or single tuner card that will work ok with two of them in one PC) that will let me get what I would do from a Freesat HD box on my PC with Win7 MC?
Cheers

Sorry mate, can't confirm because I don't own one. This seems to be the one most people are using for freesat on mediaportal though so I guess it works good with 7MC. Besides it isn't a very old card so if there are driver related issues they're more then likely to be fixed soon. Don't forget 7 only came out 20 odd days ago, officially.
I do not know if the card will perform okay as in drivers because I do not own one, but I can confirm that they will work Sky+ still. But as pointed out, the £100 one I linked above will also achieve the same functionality, INCLUDING HD content, and the only problem it will have is access to Sky channels which are encoded in DVB-S2, which doesn't matter anyway as those channels are also encrypted!
It will also cost you £60 less, and only use one PCI slot, when compared to the Nova.
Please also note I am trying to see if I resolve the issue through various means, if I do find a way to fix it I will of course inform you.
