Have to say this has never happened to me. Q has its flaws but I've never had to reset the hard drive.

I use movie mode or filmmaker mode that have been calibrated by a professional caliberater with 0 processing enhancers . I watch 4k blu ray, apple TV HDR that are perfect. I also watch BBC iPlayer on the SKY PUCK where I watch shows like blue planet and planet earth that are in HLG and the picture is perfect. So again... Yes it is sky implications. If it wasn't the BBC feed on the puck would be over exposed too.

I assume you mean "Sky's implementation [of HLG]"?

 

Did the calibrator do a calibration specifically for receiving a 4k HLG signal from the Sky box? The settings are all specific to input / res / colour encoding.

 Again I watch HLG on the puck via BBC iPlayer and the picture is perfect.  If it was my settings I'd have issues watching the BBC (HLG)  app on sky stream. A search on the internet confirms this is a known issue and I don't doubt that low peak britness TVs doesn't  help the problem but it isn't only an issue related to low end TVs.

Yeah I saw that but was curious anyway how relevant the calibration was.

 

I haven't seen any significant difference between iplayer and sky hdr but I'm using a Q box not a Stream puck, on a mid-tier TV, a Panasonic OLED about 3 models old now.
