I've had a 3D TV for a couple of years. I can count on one hand the number of times I've watched something in 3D. I only bought it because it was on offer at a similar price to the non 3D version.

Even with a good sized screen, 3D on TV is just not that immersive viewing in the way it can be at the cinema. Even at the cinema many films made in 3D could just as easily be watched in 2D. Indeed the only thing I have watched to date that really made me sit up and take note was Avatar, the thing that started off this whole process.

I'm not so sure about planned viewing killing it on Sky, after all I rarely watch anything live these days frequently timeslipping or whatever on the TiVo. It's probably more like, as with all Sky's Movies channels, they are showing the same thing over and over, so the limited repeating content isn't actually attracting that much of an audience to have a chance of being viable.
