Default Sony TVs and 1080p

I have noticed a problem with audio drop-out on 1080p transmissions
with my Sony Bravia KDL-37EX503. I believe this is a known issue but
I have been able to find very little information. Does anyone know
about this one?

Can't help with the problem itself, other than to nitpick and say that
the Freeview HD channels are 1080i not 1080p.

Not so, strictly speaking, the BBC have been dynamically switching BBC HD on
DTT between 1080i and 1080(25)p since late March.

That was the position until March. Now it can be either:

Oh thanks Mark, is that *only* on terrestrial at the moment? I've
certainly never spotted any 25p recordings on satellite, are they
switching per programme based on the type or source of material, or do
the encoders decide GOP-by-GOP which format to use?

OK, quietly seems to be the operative word, sorry about that!

It's only on terrestrial at present, and only on the BBC HD channel, not BBC 1
HD or ITV and 4HD. The switching is determined by the encoder on a GOP by GOP
basis.
