I've not gone to a pub to watch TV since they've started advertising 3D. Just wondering about it this morning, what 3D do they do? I'm assuming they aren't anaglyph 3D, but since it's the cheapest option could be I guess. I doubted they'd be active frame shuttering because there's not a chance you'd give a pub full of drunks sets of glasses that are sold for close to £100 each. Only option I thought was the cinema system, the polarized glasses since they're cheaper to produce. That begged the question - can you then buy home sized DLP's or TV's using the polarizing technique? I've struggled to find any TV's or DLP's advertised as such though. Type 3DTV into google and it's swamped with the active shutter ones.

Sky supplied their service in many pubs on a promotion, they supplied the HD boxes and Glasses (later sponsored by Guinness) LG TV's were fitted. Have been issues when a HD/3D Tv is fitted in one part of a pub and SD Sky is shown on other TVs, the HD signal is delayed compared to the SD, so the games are out of sync!
