Kyanar: Read the Herald today? Sky is apparently considering 3D channels to replace the four analogue channels once they're fully switched off (apparently spectrum is a "use it or lose it" deal. Sky reckon they can have 16 HD channels or 4 3D channels in that little gap).

Great! Hopefully they can do a deal with the NRL or Foxtel or whoever to get a couple of decoders into NZ as well.
Oh and GO THE WARRIORS!!

There was talk of Sky using DVB-T on terrestrial in the late 90's. Nothing happened and this will be the same as sky aren't into any sort of technical innovation. If it did happen it will be AFTER analog shutdown in 2013 onwards. Also, the decoders for 3D don't actually exist yet, especially DVB-T or DVB-T2 3D, as the standards haven't even been defined.

Spyware: There are no broadcast or IPTV standards for delivery of 3D TV, only HDMI 1.4 and bluray 3D standards.

Kyanar: Yes, they'll chomp up the UHF broadcast space for 3D channels. To correct myself though, Sky reckons they can get EIGHT 3D channels in the gap. http://www.nzherald.co.nz/technology/news/article.cfm?c_id=5&objectid=10625619
richms, why do you believe Sky shouldn't be allowed to use the UHF broadcast space for the pay service? They pay the government for the use of that spectrum, so why can't they use it?
