Recently we covered where ESPN has announced that is will be starting a 3-D channel. Now, DirecTV has said that will have four channels full of 3-D content starting in June. Now all you need is a 3-D TV, like the Samsung PN50C7000, a 50-Inch 1080p 3D Plasma Television.
The channels will include ESPN 3D, a 3D-only channel called N3D, one 3D pay-per view channel, and one 3D DirecTV on Demand.
ESPN 3D is arriving just in time for the 2010 World Cup, which will be the first time a major sporting event is broadcast in 3D. DirecTV says there will be 25 World Cup matches available in 3D. For those not into soccer, ESPN says there will be “a minimum” of 85 live sports events filmed in 3D for the first year, starting June 11. The X Games, the college football’s ACC championship game, the 2011 BCS National Championship game, college basketball, and some NBA games are already on the schedule.
ND3 will be sort of a catch-all 3D channel with content from a variety of providers, including Fox, NBC, MTV, CBS (publisher of CNET), HDNet, and Turner Broadcasting.
