3-D Package?

[bkwolf]

I did a search and all the 3-D discussion was from 2010-2011, I didn't see any 3-D package as an option.

How does this 3-D content work?  I have a 3-D TV, the glasses the whole deal.  Watched many blu-ray 3-D movies.  Now that I have U-Verse, I saw a 3-D short and it's side by side.   My TV didn't decode it as a 3-D image.

Is this only available in certain areas?  Do I need different equipment?

Thanks

U-verse dropped the 3D Package, which only included ESPN 3D,  in August 2011.  The only 3D content available is some On Demand movies.

Interesting - so how then does this 3-D content they have work?  My TV isn't decoding the top/bottom pictures into 1 3-D picture.  I messed with the TV settings and no change, the glasses engage but I still see 2 2-D pictures.

Kind of odd they'd offer 3-D programming if you can't view it correctly.  A couple years ago it was much less common to see a 3-D TV at a home, since the prices have dropped it seems that there'd be more consumer demand for 3-D content.  There's a hungrer for it at my house.....

i have a Sony 3d capable TV and in order to watch 3d movies on U-Verse I had to go to the TV's 3d settigns and specify that the 3d image was side-by-side or top and bottom whichever the case would be.  Once I did that, it worked fine.  I had to do the same with Comcast fwiw.

Meanwhile, in another blow to 3-D TV, DirectTV this month cut back their 3-D network's coverage of n3D from 24 hours to part-time claiming a lack in programming.  As a 24-hour channel, the network has been repeating programs all day.  This comes after AT&T U-verse dropped ESPN 3D last August due to a lack of interest.

Has anything been announced in regards to the Olympics coverage in 3D from AT&T? There's going to be a lot of coverage but I haven't heard from who.
