Foxtel ditches 3D due to lack of interest

July 29, 2013 4:10PM

THE section of 3D movies at the DVD store could soon go the way of Betamax, with Australian audiences showing a distinct lack of interest in the technology.

The low rate of take-up has already prompted international content producers to axe their 3D output and now Foxtel has followed suit locally.

In a statement on Monday, the pay-TV provider said the channel would be removed from the on-screen and online TV guides on August 27.

"In light of the recent moves by the BBC and ESPN and other 3D content producers around the world, as well as the lack of interest by Australian audiences of 3D television, it is no longer viable for Foxtel to maintain a dedicated 3D channel," a Foxtel spokesperson said in the statement.

Foxtel says it will continue to show 3D movies on its On Demand service from time to time.

3D solutions group DDD expects first half revenues to be approximately $2.4m compared with 2012's $4.0m.

DDD says this is due to a fall in demand for its 2D to 3D conversion software as the global PC market continues to decline.
