Since I'll be traveling to Europe very soon. I have a Happague DVB-T Tv card connecting to my computer. What channels will I be able to received if I go to Amsterdam, Netherlands, Brussels, Belgium, Luxembourg, Southern Germany (Munich), Austria, Slovakia, and Hungary. Are most European countries still broadcast DVB-T instead of DVB-T2? Also, I know Switzerland shut off their OTA signal, are there other European countries that shut off their OTA signal?

Backpacking thru Europe. Picking up OTA TV stations
- Thread starter e-dawg

There is a great website here that lets you see what's on the air "live" (i.e. a snapshot taken in the last few hours from a local receiver, not a live stream) in various mostly European cities: Digital Bitrate
You want the column on the left, DTT, and then you can see the multiplexes in each city, for instance Vienna or Munich where all OTA TV is now DVB-T2. The UK and Belgium are still mostly DVB-T but I think most countries are now DVB-T2.

Germany was all DVB-T2 when I was there in 2017. The Hauppauge dongle I used could receive the signals but I had to download an H.265 codec for my laptop to be able to display video from them.
At least at the time, the German multiplexes carried not only local stations but many from other German states, too, so I could sit in Frankfort and watch RBB from Berlin or NDR from Hamburg.
