I've never understood the mindset to knock a firm for trying something I'm sure its not the first service they've canned I seem to remember a music service , with the right content 3D is excellent however sadly there's been a lack of this I guess the glasses are also an issue for some.
To my knowledge Sky have not given any recent statements regarding their commitment to 3D (be it VOD, linear or otherwise), whereas VM have committed to a 3D VOD service.

My contact seems to believe that the days of the Sky 3D channel are numbered.

I'm not knocking them for trying something new, i'm knocking them for their arrogance as a company and complete inability to admit mistakes without spin. My contempt for this company is such that I gain pleasure when learning that something has gone wrong for them.

Many of their own customers have complained that Sky will never admit mistakes or apologise properly, even when it is undoubtable that it is Sky who are at fault. Instead letters dripping with spin are received such as "we are sorry that you feel like this"; as if it is the customers fault for feeling unhappy that they have been wronged by Sky!
