Not hard to see what side of the fence this guy is on... he doesn't mention having a 3D set at home and from his bio, not from tech background and his pic showed no glasses.
And that would be ESPN's fault for slacking on providing new content like they were till early this year.
I have a whole EHDD reserved for 3D Olympics ...Now THAT I am looking forward to!
but espn claims monday night football will be in 3d when the new contract kicks in 2014.
we have summer x games this weekend and wimbledon semis and finals next week.
Yes, although I have a dock and used a internal drive in it for my HR24, works just fine with a WD Green 2TB .
Looking at the Espn 3D schedule. If that's all there is, it's pretty sparse. Only 1 or 2 shows daily
ESPN 3D Schedule | Baseball, Football, Basketball, Soccer, Golf
Actually they have programming (unless they have changed in the last day or so) 24 hours a day, College Football, X-Games etc ...
Just checked and Dish is the only one of 4 MSO's that does not offer ESPN 3D here. Actually they are the only one that does not offer any 3D channels.
Considering the ongoing legal battle with Disney, it is not surprising that Dish doesn't carry it. Cox doesn't carry any 3D around here either.
Perhaps as a full-time channel. We don't know for sure. But, they appear pretty intent on continuing specific events in 3D.
3D is another topic that really stirs people up. The only 3D I've really enjoyed has been movies in IMAX 3D, no loss of brightness and the very large screen helps the feeling of immersion. I thought Prometheus was spectacular and so was The Avengers. Both would have looked great in 2D also. The few regular 3D movies I've seen have left me unimpressed, dim picture and reduced screen size don't help. My 82 inch Mitsu is 3D ready, but to me it's not worth the extra expense.
Maybe it's time for you to switch providers as all the Lubbock network market is now on D*. Not trying to drive you to D* but they just added Fox to their line up and you could probably get a deal. Of course you will lose all the additionally HD channels then.
I was one click away from making the switch to Directv. I had a lot of pros to the switch; 3D , local HD, 5 tuner receiver, each other receiver had their own tuner. However, the cons won out; loss of 2.5 Tbytes of EHD programs ( concerts, war movies, scifi movies, OTA PBS HD programs) that are movable between VIP receivers,loss of Distant networks via local station waivers, no TCM HD, no BBCA HD,and 3 OTA recordable tuners. So I am staying with Dish and hoping they add more 3D and upgrade the Hopper to have OTA recordable tuners and upgrade my locals to HD.
DirecTV cuts 3-D channel from 24-hour to part-time due to lack of programming - The Washington Post
I think this should pretty much put this topic to bed for good. As many of us stated, 3D is just a fad that comes around every few years in some not so veiled attempt to take more money out of our pockets...

It's incredible how you can be wrong in every single post you make. I've never seen that before. Not every single post.
I think the problem may be how you start with actual facts, but then go on to misunderstand, exaggerate, or perhaps even deliberately twist their meaning. It may not be your fault, though, as society itself has gotten to the point where everybody seems to take an extreme stance on every issue, and twisting facts to support their opinion. I miss the days when people would base their opinion on the facts, instead of manipulating facts to support their opnions. (But, luckily, there are a few us who still do that.)
In any case, that article puts nothing to bed, as has been discussed here in this very thread. You would know that if you actually read it. (THat goes for both the thread and the article.)
I am happy to supply fodder for you and supply balance for you always knowing everything in your posts. Also, for your information I did read the article.
