Sky 3D Important question

[admin_exported]

I have a couple of questions which I cant seem to find the naswer too,

1) SKy 3D launching aprill , it seems this is in selected pubs only, any idea when the channel is out?

2) After moving I have been holding off buying a new TV due to all the 3d ready ones coming out, although I want to future profof myself the main reason for waiting was that I though world cup may be in 3d this summer, but it seems BBC and ITV are showing the event, so even if sky hd launches and I get a 3dtv will it only be used for one game a week form next season or does anyone know anything differnt about sky's world cup (3D) coverage.

Please help as potentially I may buy a TV (chepaer that the 3d ready philips I am waiting for) to last untill the winter!

At the moment Sky is only saying that it's launching the pub-only channel in April, with a 'consumer' channel to come later in the year.

At the moment my understanding is that no-one has the 3D rights to the World Cup, as that decision is yet to be made. And it remains unclear whether anyone will be broadcasting 3D matches live here in the UK/Europe, showing highlights, or not showing them at all, and whether any 3D broadcasts will be direct to homes, or to venues such as cinemas.

In the States, ESPN says it will be showing at least one World Cup game in 3D via its subscription service, but that doesn't automatically mean that it would be available to ESPN subscribers in the UK, even were ESPN to have a 3D service up and running here by then, a matter on which it has made no announcement as yet.
