as i understand it , sky are going with the passive hd3d format , so there will be two images on screen at the same time , and both images cant be full hd , so if your watching sky 3d , on a tv that uses the active shutter system , you will lose resolution , whereas watching a 3d blu-ray on a similar tv , it will all be 1080p , does anyone know if this is correct ??
sky hd3d . will it be sd ??

Sky will be using a polarised glasses system, so I guess the best it can achieve is an effective resolution of 720i, unless my understanding is way off the mark

I know this doesn't answer your question, but I want to give my opinion on Sky 3D.
When I go to a cinema and watch films such as Avatar, Ice Age 3, etc... in 3D I love it! The screen fills up my line of site and it is a 'blast'. However... my TV screen at my house by no means whatsoever fills up my line of site. It takes up about 40% of what a cinema screen would. So this leads me to believe that Sky 3D won't be as exciting as I may expect. It may give incline depth, but not outline.
I may be completely wrong. I just don't think that the future of 3D should involve any type of glasses to experience it.

yes andrew , thats what i figured , whereas if you were watching a 3d blu-ray , on a tv using the active system , the screen shows two rapidly alternating 1080p images , the shutter glasses allowing each eye , to see a different image , tricking the brain into seeing a 1080p 3d image , so its already looking like the active system , will have an advantage ...
edit , so watching a 3d blu-ray , on such a tv will give a sharper , more detailed picture , than you would get in the cinema , even better than avatar ??

In that case though, I believe you would need active shutter glasses, am i right?

i thought the glases were down to the tv alone,
will certan 3d tvs not work with sky 3d
This puzzles me also. If there are two different viewing systems -active shutter amd polarising- then presumably each system requires a different type of broadcast. Are we in VHS / Betamax , HDD / Blu ray territory again? Or am I misunderstanding something fundamental.

there are different glasses for the different tvs , lg are using the passive glasses , similar to the ones you would wear at the cinema , the tv shows two images ..
sony , panasonic , and samsung , use active shutter glasses , that only work with tvs using the active system , the tv shows one image , then another , extremely fast , one for each eye , the glasses only let one eye see each image at one time , this happens so fast , that the brain creates the 3d image , but using this system , means you will be able to have real 1080p 3d , the former , passive system cant do that ..
all 3d tvs will work with sky 3d , which is passive not active , the active tvs will have to do a bit more processing to display the passive image , but it can be done ..
p.s. if there are one , or several mistakes in that info , forgive me , i only read it myself a few hours ago

Sky 3D will work with all 3D-capable TVs (and the existing Sky+HD box).
Different manufacturers have different glasses for their 3D TVs when viewing 3D Blu-ray content, and as far as we know so far these glasses may not be interchangeable between TVs.

It's all so confusing this 3D stuff. I was looking forward to choosing a new TV until 3D was announced. Now I don't know where to start. New Blu-Ray player, new TV, different screens with different glasses, HDMI 1.4.......then there's hooking it all up to a none 3D receiver (Denon 2310) assuming you can!!
If most people on these forums aren't fully up to speed on 3D technology what chance has the average person that isn't interested in this sort of thing got?
