There has been some serious buzz lately that DirecTV will be launching an all-3D channel for subscribers in 2010.
Earlier today, DirecTV lauched a new satellite, dubbed DIRECTV 12 into space aboard an ILS Proton rocket. The satellite was successfully deployed and will serve to expand DirecTV’s HD capacity by 50 percent with more than 200 national HD channels.
Presumably, the new satellite will also serve DirecTV’s expansion in the 3D TV broadcast realm.
According the to the report, DirecTV HD boxes will get a firmware upgrade to properly display HD 3D programs. You’ll need a 3D-ready TV to display the signal as well. Expect several of those to be made announced at CES 2010.
