3net was an American 3D television channel that launched on February 13, 2011. It was a joint venture between Discovery Communications, Sony and IMAX Corporation. The partnership was announced in June 2010, and the channel was previewed publicly at the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show.
Carriage
DirecTV carried the channel exclusively since launch. Nintendo's 3DS handheld system frequently provided episodic clips of content from 3net's programs on their Nintendo Video service. On August 12, 2014, 3net ceased broadcasting to all providers and was dropped from the DirecTV channel lineup.
