Make sure you have an HDMI cable that supports 3D. I thought it was a bunch of bull and used my existing HDMI. When I tried to access the 3D channels I got a message that my TV was not 3D compatible. Replaced it with a new HDMI cable that supports 3D and everything worked like a charm."CarolinaGuy79" said:

There's no such thing as a 3D HDMI cable, but you will need a high speed HDMI cable.
I'm using 4 HDMI feeds to my TV and some of the cables are several years old but they all work. Maybe all of monprice's cables have been high speed for quite a while. Congrats on the new TV, you'll be buying some HD Blue Ray movies soon. Don't buy the IMax movies because they all turn up on Directv from time to time.

I used to get the message that my TV was not 3D sometimes, but not at other times. It turns out that it has nothing to do with my TV or HDMI cable. It was related to the order in which the TV, AV receiver and HR-21 were powered on. If the HR21 powers on before the TV and receiver, and if the TV and receiver are not set to show DirecTV, the HR21 would not think that the TV was 3D. Once I changed the order in which my Harmony One powered on the equipment, everything has worked properly.

So I decided on a tv today and went ahead and bought it and it will be brought ou tomorrow I got a Mitsubishi Model number:WD-73638 however when I got home I checked Directv's website to make sure 3d will work on this tv and it will however it says I need to get a 3DA-1 adaptor from Mitsubishi for 3D to work so does anyone know what I will have to do? call them I guess? and is there a chage for a 3DA-1 adaptor?
Thanks from a 3D noob.

Yeah you will have to buy the adapter. Your tv (like my samsung) will only work with "checkerboard" 3d without the adapter. Panasonic makes 3D blu-ray players that output checkerboard and require no adapter for your set, but that only works for blu-ray. If you want to watch directv in 3D the adapter is a must.CarolinaGuy79 said:
Fortunately for you mitsubishi makes and adapter, samsung just told it's customers too bad and never offered an adapter.

My tv is a 2008 samsung HL61A750 led dlp, they will not work with directv, they only work with checkerboard 3D signals. I believe the new samsungs are all ok and should work without an adapter.sweep49 said:
It's kinda frustrating because when i bought it in november of 2008(for a good amount of money) it was listed as 3D future proof, then samsung got out of the dlp market and left all of it's customers with no way to see 3D that is not checkerboard. Luckily it will work with 3D blu-rays, but i would really like to to work with d* too.
