3D has been in the tech news these past few weeks with things like the incredible motion picture Avatar and LG planning to release a 3D-capable LCD computer monitor. DirecTV is adding fuel to the fire as they’ll be launching America’s first 3D HDTV channel on their service.
DirecTV launched a new satellite yesterday which will give it the capability to broadcast the new 3D HD channel. The 3D HD channel will broadcast a number of different types of programming, from movies to sports to TV shows. The National Football League, the insanely popular American football league, has begun experimenting with 3D coverage of football games this year.
DirecTV’s channel will meet the official ’3D HD’ standard, and will meet the 3D standards of the TV manufactures. Current DirecTV receivers will get a firmware update to receive the HD 3D programming. Any customers interested will need to purchase a 3D-ready TV, a 3D converter box, and those lovely 3D glasses. DirecTV’s channel will launch in March 2010, with more information being revealed at CES.
