This has just started on Optus D1. At present it is just a test card Details are:-12650 V SR 10500. The source is channel Nine Australia. I understand it will be used for the Olympic Games starting in July. This could be great for people with 3D TVs and nothing in 3D to watch!

Reception now does not ensure reception later. I'm receiving it - but it's just a 2D at the moment. It's likely a daytime (OZ) highlights package to stimulate 3D set sales.

Just did a scan on D1 I don't see it. Suppose my STB not being HD will not pick it up. Was going to upgrade but when SBS vanished decided not to as there was HD content anymore.. Regards, Old3eyes

Correct 1 month highlights trial. Was recently in the freeviewshop mailer. Also needs to be a 3d Passing capable receiver. http://www.bigbrownboxblog.com.au/led-lcd-and-plasma-tvs/olympics-in-3d-on-channel-9 http://www.theaustralian.com.au/media/monday-section/m-in-sight-for-none-olympics-cover/story-fna1k39o-1226335710789

Has this channel disappeared or am I wearing the wrong glasses? I was seeing a test card until a few days ago, but not now receiving anything on TP 12650 V SR 10500.

The Channel Nine 3D trial is back again. Details are Optus D1 12648V SR 10500 DVB.There is also a 2D version. It starts regular Olympics coverage on July 28. To receive the 3D you need 3D capable receiver such as the Ultraplus 9200, F9000 or 900 HD. Happy viewing!

My Hyundai AH-3110 shows the 1920x1080 picture with the screen split vertically into two pictures. Do you need special glasses to see the 3D effect. Assuming this stays FTA for the games where can you get the glasses? Perhaps a 3D receiver would combine/superimpose the two pictures. Still if it stays FTA I can watch the left picture with my left eyeball and the right picture with my right!

Yes, I get the double image on my Ultraplus F-9000. To see the 3D effect you need a 3D TV and the special glasses. For more information visit : ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=8289096

Have to be an HD receiver and set the 3d picture type to "side-by-side" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVB_3D-TV#Side_by_side

Tested on a Samsung 3D TV with a Dish TV S7090PVR and it looks awesome and is in 3D. Cool hope this will keep going right through the Olympics

What's the bet that someone in the media gets wind of this and it gets reported here and next thing the service is canned like SBS.. Regards, Old3eyes

Oblivian: Also needs to be a 3d Passing capable receiver. The Receiver just needs to be a full HD DVB-S2 decoder because its the TV that handles the 3D.
