Hello

After playing a bit more with S2API, I understood that the S2API is
using DVB API v3 for DVB-T. So I investigated a bit more this issue.

The problem came from the fact that scan-s2 was not giving all the
parameters needed for DVB-T to the new API

By making scan-s2 setting the following parameters, it works
DTV_DELIVERY_SYSTEM
DTV_FREQUENCY
DTV_MODULATION
DTV_GUARD_INTERVAL
DTV_CODE_RATE_HP
DTV_CODE_RATE_LP
DTV_TRANSMISSION_MODE
DTV_HIERARCHY
DTV_BANDWIDTH_HZ


Problem solved :D

Best regards
