Sky + HD 3D
In 2010 Sky are releasing there 3D service and was wondering if anyone knows if it will work with 3D vision, I'm using the Samsung 3D SyncMaster 2233. I was thinking if I put the screen on a switch could I watch it but how would I sync the screen and glasses with the 3D feed with this screen? Other option would be to connect the Sky+ HD box into my computer some how and feed it that way, anyone any ideas if this would work with there 3D service etc though?

As far as I know, no Satellite or cable decoder is equipped with the required dual-link DVI connection for 3D vision with 120Hz monitors. Additionally, a usb sync connection is required which only nvidia knows how to do at the moment.
The nvidia shutter glasses are designed only for PC use with nvidia GPUs, not for PS3/SkyHD-decoder/standalone-BluRay-player/etc... as nvidia has stated multiple times.

The Sky 3D service will broadcast images in 24/50/60Hz side by side format through the HDMI connection.
Some advanced 3DTVs are designed to understand and display this signal, but none of the 3D-vision systems can.

In theory, if you could decode the Satellite signal on your computer with a satellite capture card, a 3D vision compatible software player could be made. But that's a lot of "if" especially since i know that at the moment no such software is available.

An addon could be made to combine the side by side stream from the capture card into 1 sequential stream though, wouldn't be to hard to write

Are they going to release 3d programmes via their Sky Player in media centre ?
