July 1 marks the satellite’s launch of DirecTV Cinema and DirecTV On Demand content in 3D, as well as n3D powered by Panasonic.<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Where\u2019s all the 3D content, you ask? Check us out today, answers DirecTV.<\/p>\n

No, there aren\u2019t a whole lot of scheduling details, but today, July 1, DirecTV has begun offering 3D content on its DirecTV Cinema channel, DirecTV On Demand channel and, in conjunction with Panasonic, a new \u201cn3D powered by Panasonic\u201d channel.<\/p>\n

Flip over to channels 104, 105 and 103, respectively, to give them a look-see. The n3D channel, before we knew its name, has been anticipated since back at CES when Panasonic announced it, and, of course, DirecTV is touting Panasonic\u2019s sweet new VT25 series as the ideal set to watch the new channels on.<\/p>\n

The n in n3D can stand for \u201cNetwork\u201d or \u201cIn\u201d according to Panasonic CTO Eisuke Tsuyuzaki, who discussed 3D, Panasonic TVs and the launch of the new channel during a national webcast on June 30. He said Panasonic worked with DirecTV because of its variety of programming, its national footprint and its On Demand channel\u2019s prowess. He also noted that based on his talks with other broadcasters, this is clearly just the beginning\u2014on the heels of ESPN\u2019s 3D launch and before Discovery Channel\u2019s 3D endeavor with IMAX.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone is talking about some form of 3D, and it\u2019s all driven by the interest of consumers,\u201d Tsuyuzaki says. \u201cAs I talk to networks and broadcasters, at least a dozen networks are very interested, in my personal opinion.\u201d He predicts the rollout will work its way from satellite providers like DirecTV to cable channels and then to the major networks.<\/p>\n

Obviously movies will be the big draw to the Cinema and On Demand channels; DirecTV and Panasonic say the n3D lineup will be a mix of movies, sports and entertainment such as concerts. For now, who knows if it\u2019ll just be a loop of Monsters vs. Aliens, World Cup soccer replays and Jonas Brothers and Hannah Montana concerts. We do know that Wild Safari: A South African Adventure will be on at 9 p.m. tonight on n3D.<\/p>\n
