According to the hdguru site, DirecTV plans to launch the first ever 3D HDTV channel in the US next year. With the launching of it's new satellite, DirecTV-12, DirecTV will have the much needed capacity to add an all HD 3D channel, along with additional HD channels. The new satellite will be fully operational in March 2010.
DirecTV’s current HDTV boxes will receive a firmware upgrade to allow its existing subscriber base to receive HD 3D programming. The shows will then be compatible with the new 3D capable HDTVs expected to debut at CES by Panasonic, Sony, Samsung, LG and other TV makers, as well as existing Mitsubishi DLP models that are accompanied by a forthcoming 3D converter box. Viewers will need one of these new 3D HDTVs to view DirecTV 3D programming, along with compatible 3D glasses.
