We'll see. If anyone has the resources to push us to 3D, it's Sky. Despite all the advertising, 3D TV's have only been out for a few months, and 3D is still rather an expensive option. There's also the need for glasses, which is putting people off. Not to mention the current lack of decent 3d content.

I think 3D will become more prevalent when people can buy low end LCDs that do a reasonable job of showing 3D with no glasses.

However, I don't believe 3D will ever become the selling point Sky and others are trying to hype it as.

Tivo may well become a major selling point, and VM have the advantage that they can introduce 3D if it does sell well. Sky cannot do the same with Tivo.
