Channel 4 to beat Sky to 3D TV this autumn

Comments

• 'viewers will have to splash out for special television sets... to get the 3D effect' did you mean for the HD signal? Surely the majority of us now with flatscreen TVs are already HD enabled and will not require a new TV? Posted by Brett Kelsey, United Kingdom
• Unfortunatley the 3D Sky will be using doesnt work with regualar HDTVs. People wanting the 3D service will need to shell out for a 'special' TV set that is capible of higher refresh rates to display the 3D correctly. Takes the P*SS!!! Posted by Dave, United Kingdom
• On Sky last night (Virgin 1 channel), 'Chuck' was broadcast in 3D.
  Beats Channel 4 by a few months then ? Posted by adrianaitken, United Kingdom
• How does it take the p*ss? you need double the refresh rate for it to work on the tv screen. its whats is required. its not some plan to get you to buy another tv. Posted by chris, uk
• It takes the p*ss because many people have recently forked out lots of money for new HDTVs and now if they want 3d, will need to upgrade AGAIN! Posted by Dave, United Kingdom
• The ColorCode Glasses that both Chuck and the Channel 4 season use can be used to view a whole load of 3D videos on YouTube using YouTube's new 3D player.
