Seems like it's only a problem if you want to go from 1080p24 output from the player as 1080i60, converted back to 1080p24 by the TV in order to use 2:2, 3:3, 4:4 or 5:5 pulldown for judder-free playback.

If your set doesn't have a refresh rate divisible by 24 that doesn't cheat like some of the 120Hz models (3:2 then 2:2) your best just leaving it as 1080p60 and letting the TV refresh at 60Hz. For cable boxes, instead of 1080i60, just flip the output to 720p. At least that way you're getting more real resolution.

Or, get an exterior scaler for @ $200.
