VU+ Solo 4K - DVB-T2 P&P tuner

I'm looking for a p&p terrestrial tuner but I'm little bit confused becuase of the different offerings.
Looking at the pictures found in the e-commerce sites, looks like there are 2 types of tuners, v2.2 and v3.0.
In addition, a few e-commerce sites reports that their version (2.2) do not support h.265 while the sites selling the version 3.0 highligths that supports h.265, while others are silent about this feature.
Seems to me so strange that a DVB-T2 tuner councour in decoding....
At the moment, in Italy h.265 broadcasting is not active but I would like to buy the correct tuner useful also for the future.
Is there anybody having a clear understanding on this and could give some advice ?
Thank you
Ciao
 
Really do you think it's strange that a DVB-T2 tuner has no role in decoding? Haven't you read all the controversies about compatibility of many TVs models because they don't support H265 and this is the standard needed to reduce band? It's only the tuner responsible for decoding; the software can use or not it.
For now it's not such a big problem, but it will be before or then...

Do not confuse the DVB-T2 that is a modulation standard with the HEVC that encoding/decoding algorithm.
