Posted: 26 Sep 2010 01:00 AM PDT

With a Sky 3D channel on the way soon, Sky has gone all out to spread the word that 3D TV is no longer a gimmick. It’s here, in all its three dimensions. They’ve even got lovable tech fan, Stephen Fry to tell everyone about it. Mr. Fry himself even took the time to welcome you, Electricpig readers, in our video of the week.

In the video Fry explains what 3D TV is, how it’ll revolutionise the way we enjoy entertainment, how 3D images will work and why you’ll need to don a pair of specs to view them.

It’s all the basics you need to know about 3D television in one amusing video. Still confused? Then hit that play button down there. Hopefully Sky 3D won’t cause Sky boxes to freeze up, like it has for others in the recent Sky+ HD glitch.
