Sky 3D launching 3 April
Sky has confirmed its Sky 3D service will launch on 3 April, with the Premier League clash between Manchester United and Chelsea.
Following on from its preview in January with the Arsenal vs. Manchester United game, the service has signed up more than a thousand pubs and clubs across the UK and Ireland.
Following the service's launch on 3 April, Sky has said it will show at least a further five Premier League games before the season ends on 9 May, as well as the Coca-Cola League play-offs at the end of May.
But it won't just be football. From launch, the service will include a range of movies, documentaries and arts content during selected hours of the day, which will also be available to residential customers.
Sky will be compatible with all the 3D TVs coming to market over the next few months, and if you're on the top Sky package with HD, you'll be able to get the service for free.

I saw the Sky 3D at at the cinema this week. The football and rugby looked brilliant, however I still have reservations on how good/effective it will be on the small screen?

I've only fairly recently bought a new 40" LCD so won't be going out of my way to upgrade even though I do have the top HD package.
It's slightly annoying that companies are focussing on 3D so soon – HD is only in its infancy, all this '3D for the home' talk is a little bit over the top... I'd be interested in seeing how effective it is on a small screen, but I'm sure it will still be best enjoyed in the cinema – where it should stay for the foreseeable future.
