3D showing on Sky Sports HD 1 TiVo banner

Anyone else seeing this? On Sky Sports HD1 when you press for info it shows as Monday night football, new, 3D. Also says three D in the narrative description off the programme.

I've (hopefully) attached a photo so you can see what I mean.

Photo round the wrong way but you can see what I mean lol

I don't reckon it'll be long then. This is what they did with BT Sport - loads of little "mistakes" like information on the website that a deal had been concluded in advance of the actual announcement and showing the test channels on the TV Anywhere page the day before the actual launch.

After all, that simply cannot be an error. Somebody at Virgin, TiVo or Tribune will have actually had to create that metadata tag.

Well rumours say more 'Sky' channels may launch by mid September so maybe Sky 3D will be part of the deal.

I'm sure one of our resident Virgin employees can clear this one up. Mistake or no mistake?

Thanks for flipping it, I did look rather odd when I had held my laptop sideways at first :P
I doubt it's a mistake, but is it too good to be true?

Also "Three D" instead of "3D" hmm? :P

Re: 3D showing on Sky Sports HD 1 TiVo banner
 
If Sky 3D does launch, the only package it could really go in would be VIP Collection, this is the only way to guarantee all the content is available in non-3D mode.

You'd need Sports and Movies obviously but you need to also have XL Pack for the HD counterparts of Sky 1 etc for the entertainment!

Hey Howard, this is a mistake on our part. Apologies for this, it's been fed back and we'll get it removed for next time around. - Josh

Just like that BT Sport holding page 'mistake'

The data is provided by Tribune not VM. It's obviously been a mistake. They make plenty of them (NEW tags agains not new items, or missing from new items)

Yeah, you're probably right. Instead of the "H" key they hit "Three" instead. Easily done.

Is anybody still interested in 3D? I've got a 3DTV and used 3D on it about 3 times.

It's not very good, like cardboard cut outs, doesn't have any depth/shape.

A lot of people do like it, I have a few mates who enjoy watching 3D but I'm not one for gimmicks, prefer to watch in 2D without the need for glasses!

Re: 3D showing on Sky Sports HD 1 TiVo banner
 
I have a 3D TV and SKY 3D. I don't tend to watch too much in 3D if being honest however it always goes down well when friends and family are round. I hosted Christmas dinner this year. After a few drinks we all gathered around the TV with the specs on to watch a 3D dinosaur program on the BBC. It was a real coming together moment. I know it sounds cheesy but we had a blast.

3D TV is enjoyed in moderation. A treat every now and again. As a boxing fan I'd like to see more boxing in 3D. Froch Vs. Mack in 3D was simply amazing. When punching one another, the sweat was flaying off the screen!

It's funny you should mention that. Whenever my nephew visits he can't get enough 3D. I recorded Spiderman 3D, The Avengers 3D and Thor 3D for him. He'd watch them all day if he could.

Re: 3D showing on Sky Sports HD 1 TiVo banner
 
The 3d dinasour program at Christmas was great considering it was sbs, for the best 3D effect you need it on blu-ray with active specs, the avengers, oz the great and powerful and life of pi where really good, some others which are usually converts are a waste of time.

Your missing out then. Just sat down and watched Star Trek into darkness in 3D. Wow what a showcase production for the format. Best 3D i've seen yet. My son was blown away. I defy anyone to watch this in 3D with a Sony W9 TV and not be impressed.
