3D is such a polarizing issue, especially on these kind of sites. I won't wear those stupid glasses, It gives me a headache, it's just a passing fancy. I just know that Dish is my company. I choose to spend my money with them, not Directv, not AT&T, not Comcast, not Cox. I would prefer that my company be a leader in the field, not a follower. I appreciate the thought of them trying to save me money (see AMC, if saving me $$ is the true reason). That's why I asked if those in the inner circle have any idea what it would cost Dish to offer the 3D feed. In 2012 virtually every single TV sold in the $1300+ range will be equipped to receive 3D. It's sort of like owning a convertible. Like it or not, sooner or later you're going to put the top down.
Is Dish going to provide the NBC 3D Channel for the Olympics?

Pampering our kids and letting them lead instead of following. They are always bored. The reality is they are boring. The countries that now have the higher standard of living have very difficult school curriculums and major competition to go to college. in the US we have more than 50% going to college. Most taking subjects with no income potential. Our competitors limit college to 20% and only have degrees in subjects where this is income potential and the countries gross national product growth. It has been downhill since the mid 60s. As a college professor I can tell you the students I taught in the 2000s could not compete with the students in the 70s and 80s.Yeah maybe your right, but only when I wave this American Flag as well... hmm why does this flag have a sticker on it saying Made in China?
Where did we go wrong? Oh well I got to ban myself for being political so see you guys later.

Is DISH's setup even compatible to deliver 3D to homes?
I keep thinking there is not even one 3D channel on DISH because of technical incompatibilities (i.e. DISH's encoders can't support encoding it or DISH's receivers wouldn't be able to take an incoming 3D feed from sat and do whatever has to be done to get it compatible with 3D monitors).
DISH's receivers can deliver 3d without any problems.
The actually had a 3d demo channel up for over a year which I had access to. And it worked fine. It was using side by side

What about USN? Is that in HD yet? If so, why hasn't Dish uplinked that yet? I won't expect any 3D channels as Dish is stating that there is little room for HD channels.
+1!
I'd be more than willing to pay a reasonable fee for it.

BTW. there is some 3D available on the Roku--Wealth TV 3D.
One more time, USN is not slated to show any Olympic coverage....... None whatsoever......
looking at Olympic TV Schedule | NBC, NBCSN, CNBC, MSNBC, Bravo | NBC Olympics , the tv listings don't even mention USN, not even for replays.

No blackout planned. Most channels should work. Distant Nets if your worried
those special soccer & basketball channels & its games will not be available on distants also.
Requesting Dish to remove the Telemondo USA restriction. They have some olympic coverage...whereas local Telemundo is showing regular programming at those timeslots. The only way to watch those games on TV will be Telemundo USA.
Well said.
If you made a list of all the things Dish isn't "into" you'd need a
Oops, almost hijacked another thread.
This is one chance they could show they are not 2 years behind everyone else and show some of the 3d games. Damn shame Dish is left in the dust ONCE AGAIN......
