Yes, I am. Apparently you don't understand why they are HDMI 1.4 though. Again, in order for it to meet the 3D spec it requires that HDMI 1.4 connection to a device that identifies itself as a 3D device. And again, you may be able to find some complicated backdoor workaround on some things, but it will still be out of spec and won't work on most things.

It's not just Sony. It's any bluray player you buy (which is the only media where you can buy 3D movies), any satellite receiver, and any cable box. Basically anything compatible with 3D, as this is the 3D spec required in order to meet the 3D standard.

Let me help you for a second- the PS3 is only HDMI 1.3. Now, let me tell you why that doesn't matter- because certain HDMI 1.3 devices can be upgraded to meet the 3D spec even though they are only HDMI 1.3. I actually have a Sony AV receiver that shipped with HDMI 1.3, and a firmware upgrade enabled it to work with 3D. Same thing with the PS3- it required a firmware update in order to work with 3D.

Right, and HDMI is required in order to meet the 3D spec. Show me one bluray player on the market that doesn't have HDMI.

Uh, no. He got one particular channel, not full 3D service.
I will then make a list for you of people who had it work from that thread:
Millionaire2K
Scarabaeus
sfmacintosh

No they didn't. They got one channel.

So are you claiming that this guy, or anyone else in that thread for that matter, had a tv that was not a 3D tv? These guys were all using 3D tv's and a device that uses HDMI to connect to them, and still had problems. You are telling me that based on all the trouble they had (and contrary to your claims, none of them ever got it working 100%) that somehow proves you will be able to do it on a 2D tv with a screen cover? Again, prove it. Their setups are a heck of a lot closer to meeting 3D spec than yours, and theirs might even meet the actual spec. Yet they still had trouble.
Go get yourself a PS3, bluray player, cable box, or whatever the heck you want. Then buy your screen cover. And then come back and admit you were wrong when it doesn't work the way you thought it would.
And again, I know you will probably be able to stream somethings, but you will have problems with most things. You too will be posting like it's a great accomplishment when you finally get one single thing to work. Guys like me will not think it's a big deal because everything will work and we'll be recording games just fine every day and never have any problems.
