After Sky announced their massive £400 million profit this year, they also announced the launch of their new 3D TV service. The World’s first ever live 3D TV broadcast will be of the footbal match between Manchester United and Arsenal this Sunday.
It’s set to be broadcast in selected pubs in London, Manchester, Cardiff, Edinburgh and Dublin. The identity of the pub in Dublin is so far not known.
But word on the street is that it is the Q Bar in Dublin City.

The Arsenal / Manchester clash will not only often be a fitting breakdown of 3D television, but also make Sky the primary TV company anywhere to broadcast a live 3D TV sports event with a public audience.
People have previously embraced 3D cinema and furthermore, as Sky’s 3D service uses identical sort of technology, it is currently interest on sport, movies, concerts and drama in 3D.
