Another DVB-T2 compatible solution (which also supports DVB-T) is 
t2scan.

This is how I built and invoked it on my Raspberry Pi 2 (using Debian, 
or 2 different most recent versions of Raspberry OS):

git clone https://github.com/mighty-p/t2scan
cd t2scan
./configure
make -j$(nproc)
./t2scan -E -d|tee channels.conf

Before this, I had to copy the firmware blob for the Astrometa DVB-T2 
adapter to /lib/firmware/dvb-demod-mn88473-01.fw and plug in the USB 
adapter. For some reason, that firmware is missing from Debian.

Without the firmware, the scan would fail with "no signal" on every 
channel.

The t2scan program is apparently using LANG or LC_CTYPE to guess the 
current country, which only works if the locale files have been built.  
The default (Germany) may be overridden with the -Y flag.
