Have just subscribed to Sky 3D (after Clare made me feel guilty for criticising them) and the chap at Sky told me i could not watch the darts this afternoon as it was pubs only,,,, then i put it on and there it is in glorious high def 3D, Taylor throwing darts at me through the screen !!! Hopefully they will have the footy on this weekend for us guys as well as the pubs??
Sky 3D
- Thread starter chris hollands
- Start date
The Sky 3D preview's a good taster of what's to come, too. Better than watching Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs or Monsters vs Aliens over and over again, anyhow
You get it bundled in if you subscribe to the top-end HD bundle - eg sports and movies etc.
Chris was grumbling about having to start his subscription to Sky Sports HD early (pre Premiership!) in order to get 3D included. I merely pointed out that being as Sky's the only broadcaster to be currently offering 3D (having made the up-front investment), you couldn't blame them for making it a premium option.
It would be great if owners of 3D TVs with Sky HD could just get a limited free trial, however. Maybe Sky will do that once the football season starts - much as they have occasional free Sky Movies weekends.

Thanks Clare - Hopefully I'll be able to make avail of the free period once my 46 HX903 finally arrives.
ukpcum1:Chris - Did you have to pay anything additional for the 3D Channel?
Hi ukpcum, yea, in purely TV terms (excluding broadband and phone) it is £14 more for me a month,but for that additional premium i get Sky sports added and 5 entertainment packs , and the 3D channel that i wanted. To subsidise this i am going to downgrade my Broadband as im on the top package and never download anything, that should save me a tenner.
Also if you subscribe to Sky world it is only £35 per month for the first two months,then a standard £48.
This 3D is costing me a fortune....

Would a HiFi setup sound better than a home cinema setup for music?
