Where are the other 3D channels?

[barryd2]

I thought DirecTV said they were going to launch four 3D channels on June 11th. One was ESPN 3D, which they did launch, but what about the other three? One of the three was to be called N3D; another was to be a pay per view channel, and I forgot what the fourth would be. I called customer service, but as usual, they knew nothing...

I never heard anything about any others either.
Did you do a search for them ?

 

[barryd2]

If you mean a search of the channels available, yes I have... I've been checking every day... I had even read the channel numbers that these three other 3D channels were going to have - 103, 104, and 105. ESPN 3D is on Channel 106.

I thought that they were supposed to be channels 102 thru 106.

 

[barryd2]

Curtis, that would be five 3D channels... besides, 102 is already taken by something... I'm pretty sure it's just 103, 104, 105, and 106...

So what do these look like on a non-3D TV?

I don't think anyone would know that, when you turn to a 3D channel, the signal automatically looks for 3D devices and if you don't have them, it will show a message.

"The program cannot be viewed because this TV is not 3D capable"

I just saw a directv commercial about the other 3D channels.
