Hi, just logged into my sky account as was greeted with the following info.

Sky 3D is now available to all HD Pack customers at no extra cost

I haven't activated it yet though as I want to enquire has anyone else tried it.

Just activated mine online but it hasn't come through to the box yet. I cancelled the HD last week but still riding out the notice period!

That's sounds ok then, I am in the same position as one, ebbing out the notice period, but I thought I would try it for the time remaining.

It didn't charge you anything or extend any notice period etc ...

Chet T16

Nope, didn't seem to. I did get an automated email asking me to ring them to confirm some details. When i rang they weren't sure why i had to ring and i'm waiting for them to call me back.

Just ordered it there, emails said it has gone though fine so I guess wait a few min till it activates on the box

It was

It was always free, you just had to activate it. Had it for over a year on the current subscription at no extra cost. If you like football, then the Man City home games on the 3D are good. Much better than other football in the 3D format.

Ok, I'm probably gonna sound like a complete prat but, do you need a 3D TV to watch the 3D channels?

It's one station in 3D. They show a mix of stuff like documentary, movies and sports. Sometimes PPV. It's great for man city games as they have a good setup with cameras in the stadium itself, where other clubs haven't. It's perfectly priced as a freebie tbh as it's not even worth €1. If you have a 3D tv, then it's good to have.

Actually no but all you'll see are two side by side images of the same content.

For the 3D effect then yes of course you need a 3D capable tv

I love a pedantic answer. Top work.

Its always been available if you have sky world, is this still the case or is it now available with just the Sports + HD packs?

sbEdge

I've just signed up for it. It's available for free for anyone with the HD pack.

If you don't have the movies or sports channels, you will not be able to view the movies or sports on the 3D channel, you will only be able to view documentaries etc.

When I rang to activate the 3D channel they gave me the movie channels for free for two months.

I wonder will they blank out live Premier League games & movies unless customers are already subscribed to the appropriate packs?

I think the 3D content is only applicable to the package you currently subscribe to.

Reckon so,Sky aren't going to give premium content free.

Gutted eastenders isnt in 3d

For those who added something to their account (like movies,sports etc) while on a discount because they wanted to cancel, be warned, you may loose the discount you had... at least I did, also if you cancel movies/sports or something and are riding out the notice, and you try to add something while waiting for another plan to go off - the order wont go through (online at least) .

-my experience-

Chet T16

That would explain why mine wouldn't go through. I might kick up a moderate fuss and get my 3D for a couple of days and never watch it anyway
