For those who aren’t in a position to receive any of the 3D TV broadcasts, this is what Simon’s comment to the previous post refers to:
The basic TV standards (max resolution of 1920 at 1080i at 50 hertz) can’t be fiddled with, so instead of interleaving left and right eye views, like Blu-ray 3D, they are broadcast side by side. The 3DTV then has the job of cutting these frames in half, rescaling them and presenting them in the correct order so they work with the LCD shutter eyewear.
