There is an issue with HDMI and Linux displays on certain TV monitors if you have PS3 firmware 3.10 or later. The only known work around is to either do a text install with the supplied Composite cables (discouraged - there's other issues with this method) or to switch to Component cables instead of HDMI. You'd have to buy these separately, though.

Its pretty sad When Sony Ps3 doesnt support Sony Tv... it reminds me of my 16gb sony pen... ive formated it to ntfs and ps3 game os doesnt even detect it anymore, even after a full FAT32 format -.-

Note that the video in the end leads to a second, and that second end leads to a third and so on... it rly shows u step by step, hope it helps you to install it even if you cant properly see the letters on your screen, once your installation is done ill tell tell you how u can stretch that "small" image to a full screen.

BTW - we tend to discourage the use of Softpedia, which is mentioned in the notes for that video.

Instead, it's better to download directly from a YDL mirror:

and follow YDL's published install guides here:
