I cannot wait until SPACED hits BD. The GF turned me on to the show. Where have I been?

That'll be my next Amazon UK blind purchase.

The last one I blindly bought was BBC's "being human" (encoded @ 1080i50) and it was good.

Just a word of caution:

Although most (if not all) of UK's TV BD titles are region free, a lot of them are encoded at 1080i50, so a PS3 is not going to display them on your 50Hz capable TV...

Correct. I've been watching it on my Momitsu and it passes the signal as
1080p/60

What's funny is that when I popped it into the PS3, it reads the disc plays the distributor intros then goes to a permanent black.

Your Momitsu is configured to convert the 1080i/50 signal to 1080p/60. The PS3 can't do that, so you get a black screen.

I suspect the distributor intros are encoded at either 1080p/24 or 1080i/60. That'll be the reason why your PS3 can display them.

I saw on some other forums that it was pre one of the 2.0 firmware updates the PS3 was able to decode these. I emailed Sony and they said it is a firmware issue and may potentially change, but they have nothing concrete to say at this time.

Anyone know of a workaround? I've been able to view these (Being Human and Demons) on my laptop, and will order Psychoville, but would love to get them on my TV.

Here's hoping Sony fixes this!

Something like this may work for you:

USB 2.0 to VGA/DVI/HDMI adapter

That is if your TV has one of those inputs.
