I don't understand why this has all blown up again! Nothing has changed for months - even before Sky Italy started broadcasting in HLG.
Its clear that the KS TV IS HLG enabled and via HDMI. The issue is that the devices are not receiving the information that the TV is HLG enabled and therefore, these devices are not sending HLG content. All the HDFury does, is add to the EDID to tell these devices its connected to a HLG enabled TV so that the device will send HLG to the TV. It doesn't actually do anything more than that. The fact that when a device actually sends HLG, it actually plays as HLG on a KS.
All the EDID 'fix will do', if/when it comes, is let devices know that they can send HLG to the TV - it won't be a 'fix' to enable HLG via HDMI but will tell the devices that they are connected to a HLG enabled TV. Its a 'fix' if you like to the communication and updating the EDID (Extended display identification data what the 'specs' and capability of the display is - the fact its 2160p, HDR enabled etc) so that it now includes HLG enabled too.
The information that comes from Italy is NO different to the information they stated month's ago - before Sky even started broadcasting in HLG. Its no different from the information we heard coming out of the US too with DirectTV (exactly the same issue is stopping the DirectTV boxes from sending HLG - because the EDID wasn't updated along with the HLG enabled update). Both have said that they were working with Samsung on a fix and, as I recall back in the beginning of March when this was also a 'topic', a 'Fix wasn't expected in time for F1 in Italy - It was speculated for April but that was just pure speculation.
I don't understand why this has suddenly blown up again - nothing has changed - disappointingly maybe but we are still in exactly the same position we were in months ago. It was expected to come after the update for the Game Mode update too which only came a week or so ago.
Yes it would be fantastic if Samsung themselves would give us some information but as they continue to keep their silence, we have two choices, wait until something changes (whether that's info or action) or look to sell/trade or TV's for something that does fit your needs better. It doesn't make sense for ANY company to actively push you away towards their competitors as they not only lose a customer (perhaps for life) or more, but they also give their competitors a boost, a chance to impress and have a 'lifelong' customer (at least until they mess up anyway).
By updating the EDID, it would make the TV more fully compatible with most (if not all) HLG enabled devices rather than just being 'partially' compatible - i.e. sending up to 4k SDR only but not sending HLG. At the moment, the KS is partially compatible with SkyQ Italy, DirectTV and any other HLG enabled devices as these devices require 'more' information than the KS tells them. All the HDFury does is add an additional bit of information to that EDID that the KS sends so that the device knows its connected to a HLG TV and then sends HLG to the TV - which we know works! Therefore IF/WHEN Samsung updates the EDID, Any HLG device will work - not just the 1/2 that work now.
