Canberra and the regions lose yet again

SBS has been advertising how they are going to broadcast some 15 of the World Cup football matches in 3D. A world first, apparently.

I have just telephoned them to find out who will get to see them. All capital cities, apparently. Of course, Canberra is only the capital of Australia, so it receives regional TV, and thus won’t get the 3D.

I am very keen on getting ahold of some. I don’t much care for the game itself, but it would be great to have some broadcast content for testing 3D TVs. If any of you out there live in a real capital city, and can capture a few gigabytes of actual 3D broadcast on your computer, or port it in original format from a PVR to your computer, and burn it to a blank DVD to post to me, I’d be very appreciative. It could be the World Cup, or the earlier Rugby test broadcasts. The original format and file names should be retained, rather than any attempt made to turn it into a playable disc. I ought to be able to get it onto one or another of my PVRs to use as a test clip.

Incidentally, the first to request in comments will receive a copy of The Bourne Identity on Blu-ray. No box, no label, but the real thing anyway.
