if its box office...its a pay per view event
at the moment, the 3D content, is mixed, and infrequent
hopefully, soon, there will be a 3D channels for sport/films/docs

I was wrecking my brain over this for a while before realising that How To Train Your Dragon, as well as a few other films were actually Pay Per View.

What I still haven't clarified after googling is why I can't watch the likes of the Monday Night Premier League in 3D? (it encrypts when it starts) I am assuming it's just for pubs or is PPV, even though I watch it on Sky Sports HD instead.

The 3d channel needs to be activated with a phone call to sky. AFAIK You need to be on the Sky World package with HD. I got mine activated yesterday though I dont have a 3d tele, but some family members do and reported it working ok.

Depending on who you speak to you may be asked the serial no of a 3d tv, I wasnt but know some people who were.

if your asked for a serial you can efuse to give it as its only for marketing and you can refuse marketing disclosure

i have 3d active but no tv its just a split screen both the same

yes, it appears that the 3d freq does go box office after 22.00 hours,, at present, at the moment, 3D is very ab-lib, but its early days, hopefull ( probrably at a cost ) there will be dedicated channels soon
