Timecode CS4

I sync'ed up my two 150's but when I play the footage in Premiere I cant get the timecode to display?? I did a search on this as I remember there was some kind of issue but didnt find anything.

On the program monitor window I have 'Timecode overlay during edit' selected but nada.
 
For some stupid reason, CS4 doesn't support timecode from AVCHD. I found this out the hard way as you did. To make matters worse, it doesn't allow you to manualy set the TC for AVCHD either. My workaround was to transcode to Cineform using NeoScene (which also won't read the TC), then manually set the Cineform clips with the TC from the original clips in CS4.

Now, if you use the free DVCProHD transcoder, that will import the TC, and CS4 will read it.
