i don't understand how they survive as a pure cable provider, need to bundle that internet.

i was a late comer to the hdtv stuff, so i do have a 3d tv just because i waited so long to pull the trigger. don't think i've ever used it though. not even for video games.

I work in sales for a cable company. I won't say which one.

Lifetime? Hallmark?

Kable Town

Ya got me!

Doomsday · 06-04-2012, 12:46 AM

Univision. Que bueno!

Neverending · 06-04-2012, 01:23 AM

Kable Town doesn't own Univision, Doomsday. It owns Telemundo.

That nfl Sunday ticket is a huge money maker for them. I bet they could live off that alone.

so... get it... IF you can afford an expensive TV you should be able to get those items

Alien · 06-09-2012, 11:31 AM

I've not finished paying off my TV. It wasn't actually all that expencive. It was something like £300-£350 down from £890 or something.

Once it's paid off we might upgrade the BluRay player and get some glasses. I'm not a fan of 3D movies so I'll see what happens.

sshuttari · 06-09-2012, 11:34 AM

Meh... I'm not either... I think it's a fad but I could be wrong...

**JBond** · 06-09-2012, 11:38 AM

It's a fad if we let it be one.

IanTheCool · 06-09-2012, 11:42 AM

It is a fad, but most higher end TVs are 3D capable anyways. So decided to just pay the extra 20-30 bucks or whatever it was and get the 3D bluray player. Though I only used to to watch Avatar 3D.

I hate to break it to you guys, but there's no stopping 3D at this point.

Back in February, China signed a new movie import deal with the US. Under the new arrangement, the US can now import 34 movies per year (up from only 20 before) and keep 25% of the box office (up from only 15% before). This new set up is conditional in that all 34 movies must be "premium format films", as in CGI laden, 3-D or IMAX visual extravaganzas. If it's not 3D or IMAX, it doesn't get into China. Even at only 25% of the take, in a market that big, Hollywood isn't going to allow 3D to die as a fad. There's too much money to lose.

I hate 3D just as much as the next guy, but it's here to stay.

**JBond** · 06-09-2012, 11:59 AM

I thought we were talking about 3D TVs. Please tell me that won't be the norm soon.

IanTheCool · 06-09-2012, 12:30 PM

I honestly don't care about 3D TVs, since its very optional whether or not to use it. Its not like a 3D tv can only be used to watch in 3D.

Wyldstaar · 06-09-2012, 01:25 PM

Yeah, I'm with Ianthecool. People watch standard-definition shows on Hi-definition TVs all the time. Eventually, people will watch 2D shows on 3D TVs. I don't think anyone even makes standard def TVs anymore. Before long, they'll stop making 2D TVs, and we'll just watch our 2D movies on a 3D capable TV without the stupid glasses.

sshuttari · 06-09-2012, 03:38 PM

3D Move theaters but 3D tv's sounds ridiculous to me. That small of an image at home... Unless you have a 100 IN projector that's 3D at home it's pointless...

Neverending · 06-09-2012, 04:37 PM

Have you seen those 3D TV displays at Best Buy? They're not too bad.

Alien · 06-09-2012, 05:07 PM

Actually from what I've seen in shops, 3D TVs work better than 3D cinema for me. I just don't think I'll ever wear glasses to watch a movie in my livingroom.

MasterChief117 · 06-09-2012, 05:32 PM

I'd rather have a super nice LED tv, than a stupid 3D tv. I know, technically they're the same thing but the added 'benefit' of 3D will run you an extra 200-600 dollars more. No, thank you.
