Verizon FiOS ESPN 3D for Masters NFL NBA

Watching Golf in 3D is Awesome
Finally an answer to my question, "When Are 3D Channels Coming to Verizon FiOS?"  Verizon FiOS is getting ESPN 3D on Verizon FiOS TV begging April 5 just in time for the Masters on Tuesday, April 5.  Finally, sports fans will be able to watch the Masters Golf Tournament and the NBA playoffs on the 3D TV they might have purchased in the last few years.  ESPN 3D is the first 3D network that will be viewable for FiOS TV customers who have 3D television sets and 3D glasses on HD set-top boxes.  The new channel will be included at no extra charge for FiOS TV customers who subscribe to the Ultimate HD package or on its own for $9.99 per month. What other cable networks that have 3D channels?  Here is a list of other 3D channels

3D channels were introduced in the late 2000s and early 2010s, aiming to provide a three-dimensional viewing experience for television content. However, due to various factors, including limited consumer demand and production challenges, many 3D channels have ceased their operations or reduced their offerings.

One of the major reasons for the decline of 3D channels was the lack of widespread adoption by consumers. While 3D movies gained some popularity in theaters, the demand for 3D content at home did not reach the same level. Many viewers found the use of special glasses uncomfortable or cumbersome, and the limited availability of 3D content further contributed to the diminished interest.

As a result, several broadcasters and cable/satellite providers gradually discontinued their 3D channels. Instead, they shifted their focus to other technologies and content formats that gained more popularity, such as high-definition (HD) and Ultra HD (4K) programming. These formats offered improved picture quality without the need for specialized glasses.

While it's possible that some 3D channels may still be available in certain regions or through specialized providers, the overall availability of 3D channels has significantly declined in recent years. The emphasis has shifted towards other technologies and content formats that offer enhanced viewing experiences.
