Title: 3D TV Help
Post by: Kmac84 on March 30, 2015, 09:34:28 PM
I'm a technophobe at best but thought by buying a smart tv/3d ready all I'd need to do was turn it on and be able to watch sky 3d.  When I flick the channel on I get a split screen I have spent the last hour searching sky forums and seems I need to activate the 3d option on the tv or via the remote but struggling to find this, had a look on the tv manufacturer website but the download doesn't seem to be working well for me for the guide.  The guide that came with it, I can't make head nor tail with. 

Any ideas, its a Philips 6800 series.

Red-Dog must be busy, but have you tried turning it off and turning it back on again?

There are 2 types of 3d tv Sky broadcasts active which has a split screen the passive 3d is the old blurry picture you would remember from 3d movies in the pictures.

I feel like a moron here, the tv is active 3d according to what i have just read now.  But I can't be sure the glasses are on instructions say if they flash green can watch for 4hrs red watch for 2 hrs.  but i can't see any LED light on them.

Yeah think the magic in active 3D is in the glasses. They are quite expensive glasses compared to the other type. I don't have 3d just recall demo's when I worked at Sky.
