Dish Dishes Up 3D VOD
Mark Fleischmann  |  Dec 21, 2010
The Dish Network is going 3D, at least in a small way, with an initial round of movies in 3D 1080p from Dish Cinema On Demand.

December offerings will include Cats and Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore, The Last Airbender, A Christmas Carol, and Step Up 3D. In January Dish will dish out Despicable Me, Shrek Forever After, and Saw: The Final Chapter. Pricing will be $5.99-7.99, probably an improvement over your local 3D movie theater. Resolution will be 1080p but the announcement did not reveal the 3D format to be used.

Dish is also running a Home for the Holidays Sweepstakes through the end of this month. Rent a qualifying program and you may win a Sony 46-inch LED-backlit LCD TV, Sony sat nav, Sony Webbie HD camera, a Fox Family Price Pack, "and more."
