www. 3D OPEN .tv

Has anyone seen or used 3D Open? The website is void of information or scheduled shows. The fee is .99 per day, no free trial, no coupon code, no additional information. I am very interested to find out more if anyone has personal experience with the company or offerings. 

They contacted NEO3DO saying that "We might have an interesting business opportunity for you. We are owners of 3D OPEN, a 3DTV channel. We broadcast S3D side by side. Can your display recognize this and transform automatically to Auto Stereo? Maybe we can produce an app that you can use as standard on all screens? So your clients can actually watch a 3D channel? Please let me know if you are interested. We are based in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Kind regards, Jasper Steenkamp"

What do you think?
