Well, your T2 channels are most propably using PLP id 0 and your driver is defaulting to that one, so your working setup is pure luck until the broadcasting systems are getting more complex :)
Also without the patch there's no mechanism to prevent your DVB-T cards tuning to DVB-T2 channels.

Ok I agree "pure luck" plays a part on my behalf. All my DVB-T2 channels are QAM256 so none of the other DVB-T cards would ever be selected to tune to a DVB-T2 channel, at least in the UK at present.
