Where is the 3D content gone?

Does Sky provide 3D content? I have a Sky Q box and can't find any 3D programs.

hi @dimebar 

 

The only programme that cae up when I tried a voice search for 3D was a David Attenborough Nature programme.

 

It is vaguely possible that some films are still there but just not tagged  - you would need to search for a film you want & check 'All Formats'

 

I know when Iooked for someone many months ago (probably over a year ago) there were only about 20 items showing.

 

It has, of course, been reducng as the number of people owning sets & watching 3D is reducing - TVS sets have not had 3D capability for a few years now - I upgraded from my 3D capable TV around 4  1/2 years ago (no new TVs had 3D then)

(I still have not parted with several of y 3D blu-rays for some strange reason) 

 

It has always been niche &  even for those who have 3D TVs very few actually watch it, so it is not really  surprising it has become less & less available

I believe the last year 3D television sets were manufactured was 2016, and they never made the jump to UHD.  There have been 3D-capable projectors since then though.

Thanks for your response. 

 

When I used the 'voice search',  that's all I could find as well.

My first 4K TV did actually support 3D (one reason I got it) but eventually I switched to OLED as I found the off-axis drop  off too much  & missed the deep blacks of my previous Plasma (even though it was one of the best non OLEDs)
