see with the samsung series 7 3d televisions, do you need to buy anything else apart from the 3d glasses and the tv for the 3d to work? just was reading up on 3d tv and 3d ready tv's might be picking it up wrong though,

    Or a 3D Blu-ray player and 3D blu-ray disc, which are available now (you can count them on one finger though)

    Yep as said before, its just the tv, glasses and 3d content (dvds/channels).

    My brothers just bought the ultra thin samsung 3d tv and it really is great! The only draw backs are that once the tv is in 3d mode, only the people wearing the glasses can actually watch tv (as it turns the screen fuzzy for non-glasses wearers) and that 3d content is very limited at the mo but hopefully that will change soon!

    Are there any plans for 3D broadcasts on Freeview or Freesat HD?

    Possibly, they're looking into how Sky's trial goes. But it won't be any time soon.
