Streaming 3D

alexirambert · 11-10-2013, 18:13

Are there any services streaming 3D currently? I have a Samsung ES6300 with built in Freesat and the only 3D content I've ever seen was the Wimbledon final as it seems the BBC has abandoned 3D? My BluRay player is quite new but isn't 3D so I'm thinking that leaves streaming as the only option to try out 3D. The TV has apps for Netflix and Lovefilm but I haven't signed up yet, will these or any others let me try 3D? I'm not expecting to watch much 3D it's just curiosity really to see what it's like. I'm on a fibre connection so speed wouldn't be an issue

I haven't seen any streaming 3D yet. Like you I'm curious to try out the 3D glasses that came with our Samsung TV, but there doesn't seem to be much out there. I'm not a massive fan of 3D at the cinema but I'd like to try it out for sport - I'd love them to do the Six Nations in 3D. I live in hope!

I doubt you're see the Six Nations in 3D. The BBC 3D trail ends this year, but the 50th anniversary episode of Dr Who is in 3D. After that you've only got Blu Ray and Sky for content.

This is purely speculation but maybe NetFlix and LoveFilm will show some 3D content when more recent films which are 3D are available in their content windows (about 2 years after release).

Netflix has 3D through the PS3... Not sure if their TV app supports it... You'll have to check.
Otherwise, if you have a TV box with XBMC on, there is some 3D content on, in some repos.
