World Cup

Re the Vuvuzaler could the back ground noise volume be turned down so we can hear the commentary. If you can't do it how about asking the host broadcaster to turn it down. The constant buzzing hum is ruining the enjoyment of the games. Regards, Peter

Shame you didn't use RealD so a million odd Australian's who've taken their RealD glasses home to enjoy 3D TV downloaded over the net can enjoy your new channel as opposed to the hundred or so viewers who're saps and buy into the overpriced Sony 3DTV's which are the most expensive and lowest quality 3D solution on the market?

Viewing Like Stereoviews

Just wonder if anyone can help. I can see the image in 3D using the freeviewing technique, by basically relaxing and crossing your eyes. As you can view stereo pairs with a stereoviewer. Tried to use various viewers to watch TV the same way, as they're basically broadcasting a stereo pair, but haven't had much luck. Has anyone successfully used this type of viewer to watch stereo TV. Thanks

what channel?

What channel is 3D being broadcast by SBS?

The opening ceremony

as a south african I must commend on south africa they have done me proud. Thats a splendid opening ceremony considering that this is the first of this cup being held in africa! They have set the starndard high but it would have been nicer if it were in the evening!!

Disappointed and Frustrated

I would like to express my thanks and admiration for SBS's decision to tranmit a selection of World Cup games in 3D. Sad that I cannot do so! Having recently acquired a 55" 3D capable TV, I was awaiting the announcement that the games would be transmitted in 3D and was not disappointed. I was disappointed in the decision to send the 3D on Channel 35 which is not available here, but is available mere kilometers away in Sydney and Newcastle; an extremely frustrating situation.

3D on normal TV

If you have a HD TV tuner card in your computer you can record this side by side 3D broadcast to your hard drive. Then use Stereoscopic player to convert that 3D recording to be viewed in anaglyphic 3D. Anaglyphic is using the colored 3D glasses. Generally Red & Cyan. Sure the color will not be as good as watching it on a true 3D TV, but at least this way you can buy the glasses for around $5 & watch it on your normal TV.

Answers for Richard

Richard, you need any decoder that is "Freeview" certified (ie, can decode MPEG-4 as well as HD) and any TV that is 3D-ready. Some people are using their normal TV tuner cards in their computers, plus the 3D features in their video cards + glasses used for existing 3D games. Existing shutter-glasses can only work if you convert side-by-side to the alternating-flip style. LCN 40 is UHF 35, but the point of digital is that you don't need to know the UHF. Just do a rescan.
