Sky Poker forums will be temporarily unavailable from 11pm Wednesday July 25th.
Sky Poker Forums is upgrading its look! Stay tuned for the big reveal!
This isn't really a poker tv question (unless you are going to do 3D poker) however i thought someone from Sky tv could enlighten me as you must have expertise in this area. I have noticed that recently sky have shown 3D coverage of a football match, and now the world matchplay darts. It is only shown in selected pubs a clubs. I was wondering how far your technology, and that of the television maufacturers have come where you can show 3D in peoples homes on a regular basis, or have you got asperations to do this already? I dont have HD because to be honest, ive watched it round my daughters house, and i cant really see much difference, certainly not to justify a tenner extra a month, however i would consider paying extra for 3D as there is a marked improvement!

one consideration is whether you have HD eyesight.
The world's biggest electronics company has issued an extraordinary health warning about the dangers of watching 3D television.
Pregnant women, the elderly, children and those suffering from serious medical conditions are among a wide range of people said to be at risk.
The alert extends to those who have been sleep deprived or drinking. It highlights alarming side effects such as confusion, nausea, convulsions, altered vision, light-headedness, dizziness, and involuntary movements such as eye or muscle twitching and cramps.
Samsung says there are also concerns that those with epilepsy could be at risk of fits - as they are from strobe lighting and photographers' flashes on normal television.
Watching 3D on TV, which involves wearing special glasses like those used for 3D movies, bombards the eyes and brain with a succession of flashing images that appear for a fraction of a second.
It is a new way of seeing things and so puts unusual strain on the body.
The warning has been posted on a Samsung website and appears designed to protect the manufacturer from any legal claims for compensation if people fall ill.
to remain safe from all those side effects i have decided to close one eye all day long now and only view the world in 2D
