While we were largely underwhelmed with the football, the channel's boxing test footage proved astoundingly involving. Frogs, lizards, butterflies and sundry amphibians all perform well in front of the 3D camera, with tongues and eyes bulging out of the frame on cue.
Experimental footage of the City of London, sped up, proved equally mesmerising. While watching 3D content, we experienced an almost irresistible urge to move closer to the screen far more so than with 2D footage.
Even with our nose up to the glass, we just didn't feel that close as the 3D image receded. Sky's film show, 35mm , has the potential to be a great showcase for the technology. We loved its special 3D preview episode, shot entirely with eye-popping cameras and featuring 3D trailers of upcoming features and past hits.
Beware, though, that, when in 3D mode, Sky's electronic programme guide remains 2D. Hit the pause button and it's like taking a spear in the back of your retina. The next logical step would be some kind of 3D EPG, but don't expect such a thing anytime soon. We auditioned the service on both passive and active 3D TVs. Given that passive screens shave the resolution off all incoming 3D signals which is why they're far from ideal for playing back 3D Blu-rays , we had low expectations for their performance with Sky.
Our expectations were confounded, though -- the viewing experience was fine. You can expect to experience some differences in 3D picture quality with different manufacturers' TVs, if only because of the different picture-processing technologies deployed. Philips, for example, is planning to use proprietary picture-upscaling technology to beef up the half-resolution transmissions. We predict this is one area in which TV vendors will begin to crow during the coming months.
Sky 3D has a definite wow factor. You should upgrade or use an alternative browser. Sky 3D pricing. LCDseeker Distinguished Member.
The price is way to high now so I've ditched the Sky sports only to be told I will lose the 3D. I asked how much I needed to pay to keep the 3D and they said What on earth is this all about? Does anyone know of a way around this? Curly99 Distinguished Member. Can we stop the "Con" comments please, Sky Sky offers by far the best all round tv viewing package. End Of. You pays your money, you takes your choice. The problem with sky is they have to many packages I have virgin and they have 3 packages I have the top one which has all sky movies and sports and espn In hd Virgin also have the best on demand services and they have a whole section dedicated to 3d so you have got allot of 3d programs on demand and it is cheaper than sky.
All this for free. Last edited: Jun 4, Phone sky up and tell them your wife has just had a baby and she is off work for a year so you can't afford sky anymore. And you want to cancel it.. We got full sky half price for a year till my wife went back to work.

You shouldn't have to subscribe to every channel for 3d. I hate sports, have no interest in it and would never pay for it to get 3D. However, I think Sky is expensive for just one pack! Your having a laugh!
Valen Well-known Member. SKY say that their 3D is only 1 channel for now, and that it shows a mixture of movies and sports.
