Foxtel set to launch 3D TV in 2011

Avatar-like 3D technology is coming to TV

Foxtel is looking to bring 3D to Australian audiences in 2011.

Chief executive Kim Williams said the company’s existing high-definition set-top boxes were 3D-ready and test broadcasts had been conducted in Australia, News Limited reports.

“Foxtel’s HD set-top units have already carried 3D signals in our premises with terrific picture clarity,” Mr Williams said.

Foxtel would continue to run trials on 3D transmissions over the next year, he said.

“I expect that Foxtel will bring its first test broadcasts in 3D to subscribers in 2011.”

With all new FTA digital channels being released, it’s no wonder that Foxtel are looking at new technology to keep ahead of the competition.
