Comment on ESPN 3D has 20 college football games by Rah

I don’t know much about College Football but I do know that it is a great sport and you could be missing out on it next weekend if you are a DIRECTV customer. DIRECTV is going through a dispute with FOX that could take away your FSN. As a DISH customer and employee I can tell you we just signed a long term contract with FOX and you don’t have to worry about this happening to you. Switch to DISH now and don’t miss out on any college football!

I don’t think I would ever spend that much money on 3 movies; even if it is in 3D. My kids are still young they don’t get that excited for the 3D, and personally it gives me a headache. I don’t think that is worth the money at all.

Comment on Panasonic expands U.S. Open 3D via CBS by tedd0

Hats off to CBS for offering 3D coverage at the US Open. Unfortunately, the crew has a learning curve about 3D that must be mastered. First camera movement must be kept to a bare minimum. they panned the camera much too much leaving the view with a mild motion sickness. Secondly, the camera angles must be thought out better. Forget the knee high shots and the low side/corner shots. It is impossible to see anything at these angles…. again with the excessive camera movement. The best angle is slightly above the players head in the center of the court. The second best is the higher up center of the court shot. Forget the other angles unless you are showing replays. It seemed like CBS was impressing themselves with their many 3D camera angles. It really made for difficult viewing of the 3D version, so much so that I ended up watching the match in HD. CBS – you’re on the right track, just clean clean this up a bit and you’ll have a winner. Take a lesson from the Wimbledon coverage. It was first rate… To get the full flavor of what I’m talking about, require your cameramen and management team to watch an entire 3D match of the finals or Semis and you’ll see I’m talking about.

Comment on Real Steel real deal at IMAX by charisma

I took my boy to see this movie this last weekend and I thought it was pretty decent. It reminded me of the toy Rock’em and Sock’em Robots. I remember playing that toy all the time when I was young. I thought it had a great story line and it was good for younger and older audience. I think it would have been awesome to see it on the IMAX screen.

Comment on Disney unleashes torrent of 3D classics by Petri Teittinen

Please tell me Finding Nemo and Monsters Inc. will be true native S3D re-renders from original CG assets. I was seriously underwhelmed by The Lion King 3D, although yeah, it’s hard to find a more difficult source for conversion than flat 2D animation cells.

Comment on No Universal Sports on satellite by jack weger

Directv recently added Universal Sports Net, but Dishnetwork still hasn’t or probably never will add it. I check daily on my channel lineup with Dishnetwork, but I doubt if they will ever add it. I don’t want to drop dish for one channel, but I guess by threatening Dish to go toward Directv might wake them up. If more Dish subscribers would ban together and go towards Directv maybe this will wake Dishnetwork up. I doubt it, but it is worth a shot.
