I know that one tends to find it......What shall I say 'incongruous' but I think that if one finds an interesting program and persevere I think eventually one will get used to these glasses, have to give yourself a chance I suppose, but one thing for sure sometimes the experience is exhilarating. That's what I found out for myself anyway.

I think over the next few years we will see more companies making 3D TVs that do not require glasses.

There will also be more 3D content as the satellite companies try to lure more customers/retain existing ones.
