ESPN 3D DIRECTV Sports

The best sports programming just got better with ESPN 3D

DIRECTV is leading the 3D revolution and is UNDEFEATED in sports programming, so naturally, DIRECTV is also the leader in 3D sports programming with cutting-edge technology and advances in innovation.¹ DIRECTV is not just the first provider to offer 3D sports programming, but the first to offer 3D home entertainment in general, period.

Inaugurating 3D sports with the 2010 FIFA World Cup, ESPN 3D is offering at least 85 sporting events live in 3D this year, with more games being added to the schedule. From football to soccer to the X-Games, ESPN 3D on DIRECTV has 3D sports programming for every type of sports fan.

Just because ESPN 3D has just launched doesn’t mean it’s a new, finicky technology. ESPN has been testing 3D sports programming and recording technology for over two years. They even recorded the USC-OSU game (18-15) in 3D and played it in theatres for fans in September 2009.

You couldn’t imagine what you could do with ESPN 3D:

• You can be the referee to any game! With 360 degrees of judgment, you can look at the refs calls in a whole new dimension, and decide for yourself whether there was really a foul, or if someone was actually off-sides.
• Do you like watching sports in HD? Then you’ll love sports in 3D. If sports games in crystal clear 1080p Blu-Ray high definition quality blow your mind, then just wait until you watch sports on ESPN 3D from DIRECTV. There’s just nothing like it.²
• Feel like you’re actually at the game - in the stadium. Experience all the blood, sweat and tears, all the heart-pounding, eye-popping action, like you are cheering from the sidelines or the stands. It’s the next best thing to actually being at the game, without all the extra fuss and congestion.
• ESPN 3D takes you back to your college days. Alumni can re-live their university cheering section with ESPN 3D from DIRECTV. ESPN 3D is broadcasting 13 college football games this season in 3D- so get ready to go back!
• No random game selection - ESPN 3D plays the games you want to see. ESPN 3D will be broadcasting the BCS National Championship on January 10th for “great content [and] new technology to enhance the fan’s viewing experience,” according to George Bodenheimer, president of ESPN.
• In the comfort of your own home, without all the traffic and long drives. Enjoy the best 3D sports in your house with DIRECTV.
