Soon after Sky revealed that it is still fully supporting 3D, Virgin Media announce that on-demand customers can expect more 3D choice.

From July, around 50 hours of 3D content, including shows such as 3D Dive, Kalahari Meerkats and Monster Trucks will join Virgin Media’s On Demand line-up1.

Kevin O’Neil, head of TV product management at Virgin Media said: “3D offers a unique and often breathtaking experience and our customers are making the most of Virgin Media’s 3D On Demand line-up to sit down and try it for themselves. We offer our customers a wide choice of content and 3D at no extra cost is proving to be a valuable addition for many of our TV fans.”

Virgin Media was the first TV service to bring 3D content to UK television screens. Subscribers can already enjoy up to 25 hours of 3D TV content, including everything from eye-popping blockbuster movies to engrossing wildlife shows. Over one million 3D movies and programmes have been watched on Virgin Media’s 3D On Demand service.

Blockbuster movies such as Oz the Great and Powerful, the Oscar-winning Life of Pi and Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey are available in 3D this month and in the coming months a plethora of shows will be added (listed below)

That’s the second piece of good news for 3D fans after the two pieces of bad news (BBC and ESPN) – calm is restored!

3D shows coming soon to Virgin Media include Hillbilly Blood S2, How It’s Made (additional episodes), Lava Chasers, Monster Trucks 3D, River Monsters, Secrets of the Shaolin, Street Dance with Sisco Gomez, Shortlisted, Fire Ants, Microplanet, Scary Tales.
