Well, they have the list of 3D matches up:

But still "check local listings for times and channel".

72 hours to go and no mention of ESPN 3D on the espn website, no channel info on comcast.net, and, except for Savannah and DirectTV, no test channel.

Having said that, if you're lucky it may just show up. Not all managers are up to speed on 3D.....

"to be clear, you mean ESPNHD?"
"No, I mean ESPN airing FIFA in 3D, starting this Friday"
"okay, let me check. Please wait a moment"

Washington, D.C. (June 9, 2010) -- AT&T has joined Comcast and DIRECTV as TV providers who will carry ESPN's 3D channel.

This will allow subscribers of those carriers to watch the FIFA World Cup soccer matches in 3D, starting this week. That is, if they have a 3D HD set and compatible 3D goggles.

AT&T says the 3D ESPN channel, which launches June 11, will be available for $10 a month. DIRECTV and Comcast are not charging their subscribers an extra fee to watch the channel.

Dish Network Corp. and Time Warner Cable Inc., the third- and fourth-largest U.S. pay-TV providers, have yet to make a deal with ESPN 3-D. Cable operators Cox Communications Inc. and Cablevision Systems Corp. haven’t yet signed on either.

Time Warner Cable spokeswoman Maureen Huff said the company has had conversations with ESPN 3-D, as has Cox, according to spokesman David Grabert. Satellite operator Dish has also spoken with the content provider, said spokeswoman Francie Bauer

If you already know it's channel 334 in your area, just punch that into the remote.

Notice the side by side ESPN3D Logo in the preview window. I had to wait for the loop to complete in order to snap it at the logo, so you wouldn't think it was some other channel.

If you still don't believe me, contact Comcast, and ask them which channel carries ESPN3D in your market.

Thanks for the shot. it's not that... I just wonder why can't they have it a bit early in all areas.




Comcast earlier this morning gave me a word that is coming in June 11 channel 334, no word whether it will come a bit earlier or not. At the present time when i go to the guide TV grid section or punch 334 it simply doesn't exist.



when did the channel come for your area? yesterday or earlier than that? and also did Comcast notify that it might come a bit earlier than June 11 for testing? (I know it's off air).
