Finding itself with a wealth of a additional bandwidth thanks to a new satellite going up today (http://hd.engadget.com/2009/12/03/directv-12-on-its-way-to-the-launch-site/), DirecTV (http://hd.engadget.com/2009/12/03/directv-12-on-its-way-to-the-launch-site/) may have already decided its first big addition will be 3D. Citing the always popular unnamed sources, HD Guru says we should prepare for a CES announcement that the bird will be up and running by March beaming down a collection of movies, sports and TV shows in 3D HD, requiring only a firmware upgrade on existing set-top boxes to tune into the new stations. UK satellite provider Sky has already tipped its hand about 2010 3D plans (http://hd.engadget.com/2009/11/30/sky-planning-3d-soccer-broadcasts-for-2010/), with a newly freshened HDMI spec (http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/23/hdmi-1-4-spec-getting-freshened-up-in-preparation-for-broadcast/) expected to ease things along and nearly every manufacturer either already producing compatible displays or planning to announce them in less than a week there's very little doubt remaining about whether broadcast 3D is coming home (http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/26/ready-or-not-the-latest-3d-technology-is-coming-home/) this year, only how and when.DirecTV 3D broadcasts coming in early 2010?
