Answer - lossless cap vs mjpeg. As for Hevc its requires a **** ton of cpu so they just opt for a preset that will do rather than a quality encode :( the x264 encodes are still huge. A driver patch could fix the play back.

Will the solo 4k ever get a dvbs2x addon tuner? Looking at the Octogon 4k that's coming with dvbs2x 16 and 32apsk and multistream. VU need to up there game.
Yep! i know they are fake but at least the HDR metadata that they inject into the 'Rips' is correct as 99% off all the 'Official' sample HDR test from LG,Samsung,Panasonic.Sony all use the same HDR Metadata structure.

VU+ have lost out big time now they should have at least made 100% sure that the P&P tuners on the 2 new models Ultimo/Uno could be backwards compatible with DVB-S2X, i certainly wont upgrade now until the models in 2018 there are still many changes ahead to come regards 4K on satellite and HLG being one of them
