3D network announced

<< < (2/9) > >>

ChadTower:

I'm actually looking forward to seeing all of the people who spent $3000 on a 65" plasma complain that "they got ripped off" because new 3D sets came out.   ;D

Can you imagine having to keep a bowl of $50 3D shutter glasses around for guests?  Yeahhhhhhhhhh...

ChadTower:

The only time my TV is on is when someone is actively watching it or playing a console game.  It's almost never on with people puttering around in the background.  We don't watch much regular programming, though.  It's all movies, football, or gaming.

I have no desire for a 3D television set. I think that is completely retarded. I am more than happy to plunk down $20 once or twice a year for the '3D' experience at a theater though.

And on that note, where do they plan on getting the bandwidth to run 1080P broadcast at a super high bitrate to do this 3D thing?

The second article says DirecTV has launched a new satellite with rumors that this is one of the reasons.  Certainly that gives them the bandwidth.  It also says cable providers will have a real problem with the bandwidth requirements.

By raising broadband prices until people stop downloading.
