So basically wrong time for this. I don't fancy having to have 3d glasses all over the show. For me anyway 3d is for going out to not an everyday thing
I tend to agree, in the present financial climate, even next year, embarking on a new technology of this magnitude does seem to me a little premature.
HD is still in its infancy in the UK and the vast majority don't even have that at present, so apart from a few "must have techies" I don't see Sky's customer base rushing out to buy 3D-TV's, which as none are even avaliable at present I imagine will cost an arm and a leg when they are in the shops.
Could it be this announcement today by Sky was their way of putting the mockers on VM's free HD channel launch today.
