There seems to be no stopping the 3D revolution – and now it’s going to be beamed directly into your home, as Sky announce they will launch Europe’s first 3D TV channel in millions of British homes on October 1.
To immerse yourself in the full 3D experience you will need a 3D-enabled TV and the company’s high-definition package. About a third of Sky’s 9.9million customers are on HD.
‘Following hot on the heels of the success of 3D cinema, Sky customers will now be the first anywhere in Europe to experience 3D TV from the comfort of their living rooms,’ said Jeremy Darroch, Sky’s chief executive.
Sky has also struck a deal with HBO - the US broadcaster behind TV hits such as The Sopranos, Sex And The City and The Wire - to air its programmes in Britain and Ireland. The agreement will see all new HBO-commissioned programmes and series broadcast exclusively on Sky channels.
The first HBO production to be seen on Sky as part of the deal will be Prohibition-era crime drama Boardwalk Empire, from director Martin Scorsese and The Sopranos’ writer Terence Winter. It will star Steve Buscemi.
