Doug Balmer: Please see the above article.
You have two options, either buy an "RF modulator" such as
Programmable Universal Modulator : AV Accessories : Maplin
or, run a satellite-grade cable from one of the spare LNB outputs on the dish to your other TV set, and use your old Sky+ box to watch (only) Freesat-from-Sky programmes.

Ian: Actually, the rule seems a lot less out of date now that it did in the 1980s when there were no battery operated TV sets at all...

David: This sort of thing happens all the time with channels moving between transponders, the Sky+HD and Freesat HD boxes are designed to deal with channel reconfigurations.
The only people that might have to do anything are those with 'generic' free satellite receivers.

Steve: I think I heard it summarized as "anything that requires you wear glasses to watch TV is never going to catch on".
And it's not 3D, of course, it is stereoscopic. 3D television would allow you to move around and change your perspective on what you can see like you can with a hologram.

NottsUK: The 3D broadcasts usually appear as a "split screen" on normal receivers as the left and right eye views are carried in a single HD frame - the horizontal resolution of each is halved to fit it into a single "standard" frame.

gino: Unless you can get a card sent to an address in Italy, then you won't be able to watch the encrypted programming. See Tivuitalia - HOME
