3D TV is Here (almost)

"I hope it works with Directv. It's a software update for the receiver so maybe they'll try to make it work with all existing sets. Albeit, some flicker."

I would guess that they would provide a variety of output options so that the "best" display possible within the limitations of a particular set could be produced.
The demo that I saw in the mid 80s was at standard NTSC rates, so that a full interlaced stereo pair was produced every 1/15th of a second. Even at that low rate, the flicker was not bad, and could only be noticed on the brightest scenes. The fact that a CED (needle vision) player was used for the demo did not help matters either, as there was an occasional "skip".

I see that Amazon is listing the Samsung BD-C6900 player, but no ship date yet:
