Foxtel iQ2 subscribers who were disappointed that they weren’t getting to enjoy the delights of the new free-to-air 3D trial channel can now take some solace in the fact that the Pay TV operator will be re-transmitting 15 of the 25 3D matches from the World Cup on Channel 200.
The agreement to retransmit the SBS 3D content applies to both satellite and cable Foxtel customers, and will include both live matches and replays from the SBS feed.

Of course, you will need a 3D capable TV to watch it, but at least you won’t miss out on the 3D coverage because you happen to pay for your TV content.

Monday, June 14, 2010 at 10:08 PMI went and got the 58″ samsung 3d plasma and has a better picture then the 3d led lcd tv’s and it draws about 1 amp of power and it can have a usb hard drive to record tv programs and the 58″ 3d plasma is cheaper then a 46″ led lcd samsung 3d tv and they come in 50″, 58″ ,63″ and i nearly got the lcd version but i was pleased i didn’t because the angles a not as the series 6 lcd and i would buy a plasma over a lcd and the plasma looks better and it is not as plastic looking and i find that lcd’s are too bright to look at and it has a lan network port on the back besides 4 hdmi ports and 2 usb ports and a headphone jack on it.
