Cox (News - Alert) Communications will be broadcasting the first Major League Baseball games in 3D on Saturday, July 10 and Sunday, July 11.

Subscribers who have 3DTVs will be enabled to watch the Yankees games live at 10:10 p.m. ET on Saturday and 4:10 p.m. ET through YES 3D on Sunday. The subscribers who don’t have the facility of 3DTVs at home are able to visit the Best Buy stores in Manchester or Meriden during business hours on Sunday, July 11. Re-telecast of Saturday's 3D Yankees game will be from 4:00 p.m. This telecast will be shown up to the live coverage of Sunday's contest at 4:10.

 

In a release Roger Sokolosky who is the Vice President of Sales, Cox New England said that "Cox is excited to offer our customers this unique viewing opportunity and we also feel privileged to host anyone interested in checking out the 3D Yankees experience through our great partnership with Best Buy. YES is providing baseball coverage like no one has seen before."

 

In order to watch the Yankees on YES 3D, the Cox customers need to possess a 3D television and an HD or HD/DVR receiver. In addition to that, the TV manufacturer's specified 3D glasses are also needed to watch the content in 3D. Also, the receiver must be connected to the 3DTV with an HDMI cable. After that, the customers need to tune to channel 784 and modify the setting on their 3DTV to "3D format" or "3D mode." 

 

Earlier this year, Cox has televised the Masters Tournament in 3D with live four-day coverage of the event. YES Network is the official channel of the New York Yankees.
