Comcast is launching a new 3-D channel called Xfinity 3D. This channel will started yesterday, on February 20. Xfinity 3D will have concerts, sports events, movies and original programming, all in 3-D. The new 3-D channel kicked off yesterday with NHL hockey game featuring the Montreal Canadiens and the Calgary Flames. (The Flames won 4-0 in an outdoor stadium with a -8.6 degrees Celsius (16.5 Fahrenheit) temperature, and that does not factor in wind chill!)
Comcast seems to have embraced the 3D Fad, and possibly acknowledged the success of the various satellite providers already doing it, and added a suite of 3D entries to their On Demand offerings.
To access the movies, go to the On Demand menu of your cable box and then pick Free Movies. From there, scroll on over to 3D movies and you’ll be greeted with a list of eight different selections. Among these you’ll find three documentaries, one Sigfried and Roy magic special, and three 3D movies.
Yeah, I’ve never heard of em, and frankly don’t care to see ‘Sigfried and Roy’ in 3D. Anyway, it’s a nice start and hopefully they’ll continue to flesh out the offerings, and maybe even start offering some of the big-budget 3D Movies on-demand.
