Re: 3D using TiVo

I didn't give a 'hoot' about it either till I got a set that was capable of 3d, I now love it, but the lack of content is frustrating.

And the lack of content is a big problem going forward for 3D in my mind.

l know you are a supporter of 3D but the lack of content must be a worry in the next few years don't you agree.

I see 3D as an add on to my HDTV , I personally can't see there being numerous 3D channels for a good few years , just look in the US for proof of that. At the moment being a Sky World subscriber I feel I have access to a decent variety and amount of 3D content which I expect to grow in the coming year.

And thats the important thing is for customers to see it as a little extra and if you are happy with it MM then thats fine and dandy by me.

How lovely,funny you should mention about more 3D content because I've just been reading that there will be more to come in the new year.
