That makes sense, the PS3 is certainly fussy, if it wasn't for the  
completely wonderful picture quality I wouldn't bother with it at all!
I'd wondered if it was the old ac3 audio labelled as mpeg2 audio  
problem that BBCHD used to have, must drag out tsreader and take a look.
I've never seen (heard) normal audio on BBCHD, I thought it was ac3 or  
audio description only, PS3 prefers audio description :-( It also  
thinks BBCHD and LuxeHD are 4:3

Keep meaning to get a better graphics card that can do advanced 2x  
vdpau 1080i de-int maybe that will rival or better the PS3 and I can  
use the Myth Frontend instead.

Thanks for the pointer.
