Currently you can get a Sky HD Box for free at Sky.com/FreeOffer with free installation if you sign up to the Sky HD Pack online. This is the best deal there has been on Sky+ HD and is a clear sign that Sky want to maximise Sky+ HD users so that the launch of 3D TV has the best chance of success.

To watch Sky 3D TV you will need this new Sky HD Box, together with a 3D Ready TV and of course some 3D glasses. The two main questions about whether 3D TV will be successful centre on the actual TVs required to watching 3D TV and those 3D glasses.

Many consumers have only just recently just purchased HD Ready TVs and it is quite a leap of faith by Sky to assume that their customers will be willing to replace this HD Ready TV with a 3D Ready TV.

The second main area of doubt with 3D TV involves the glasses. Although theyve come a long way from the days of cardboard frames with one green lens and one red lens, its still difficult to imagine families sitting around their new 3D TV all sporting these not so stylish 3D Glasses.

Sky is pretty confident that 3D TV is set to take off in a big way, and indeed they are not alone. Many of the big TV Manufacturers are investing a lot of money into developing 3D TVs ready to capitalise on TV services like Sky 3D TV. Only time will tell whether they are proved right, however.

The Sky+ HD Box will be used to view Sky 3D TV and Sky want as many of their customers to have this box in their home to make the transition from HD TV to 3D TV as smooth as possible.

Sky are marketing the new and improved Sky+ HD Box as the Sky SuperTelly and their offering Free standard set-up, free broadband and calls and a 25 M&S voucher if customers join Sky+ HD online.

This is a clear sign that they really want to penetrate the HD market and get to a critical level of HD Subscribers and suggested that the launch of 3D TV is key to their long term profits.

Sky+ HD is the widest provider of live HD Channels in the UK and now offers 37 Sky HD Channels which is vastly more than any other provider. Virgin Media, however, are hot on their heels and have plans to launch a number of live HD Channels later this year.
