Well, I don't know about France, but here in Finland broadcasters are going to
wait for DVB-T2 until adopting HDTV in a wider scale, which means that current
DVB-T devices won't be able to receive future HD channels. There are no DVB-T2
cards available now--first models will probably arrive in 2009.

If you already have terrestrial HDTV channels running now, they are sent as
DVB-T, and any budget DVB-T card (Nova-T 500 included) can receive them.
