Thanks, Jezza.

I'm keeping the preorder then, because I'm sure it'll turn out alright.

Hey, no problem. Haven't spoken to you in a while, so it's nice to hear back.

I've been busy.

New job, new life. So I'm not here as much. I got your message a little while ago and I've forgotten to reply back because of it...Sorry.

Similar story here, I don't come on here much that often now either, so don't worry about the mesage. I only really come to the UK part of the forum once in a while for upcoming releases, because I'm just too busy.

Good news and bad news - the disc is indeed codefree. It starts fine, until the playback issues start.

Quoting myself from Gallifreybase.com:

Upon inserting it into the player, I get the legal disclaimer, all the logos (2|E, BBC) and the audio announcement (that voice saying: "Sarah Jane Adventures, Series 5, Blu-ray edition.), then - nothing.
The player freezes, no matter how many times I try.
No use hitting the menu button, that function is locked during the logos.

*sigh* Anybody else having this problem?

Do you happen to be in the US? as it sounds like the main menu and episodes are 50hz so while it might be region free and play the intros which are 1080p/24fps you will need a player that can handle 50hz material to actually watch the episodes.

^ I happen to be in Germany, using a US Blu-ray player. My combination of player/TV has never had any problems with any of the many BBC releases I own (which do indeed run at 50 Hz).

Just two weeks ago, I got series 2 of Sherlock, and it plays beautifully.

Thanks for the input, but no - the problem must be something else.
