Wealth TV Launches a 24/7 3D Channel for Roku - More Connected Devices Coming Soon

The channel brings documentaries, racing, boxing, vacations, and plenty of expensive homes and toys to your TV, all in three dimensions.

3D televisions have been out for a while now and there still isn't that much content for them when it comes to traditional TV viewing. If you're into checking out luxury vacations and multi-million dollar homes in 3D, you'll be happy to know that the latest channel from Wealth TV brings you just that.

They're calling it Wealth TV 3D and it's available to watch now. "Our goal for the network," says Wealth TV VP Cameron Westfall, "is to allow every 3DTV owner to experience the American Dream regardless of their economic status."

The channel is available now but only through Roku boxes. It's coming to more connected devices soon and is cable-ready, should a provider wish to pick it up.

Roku Goes 3D With Wealth TV

Don't touch that priceless vase! It's another first for the pairing of Roku and Wealth TV.

Roku and Wealth TV are all about innovation. First the pair brought live television to the Roku set-top box, and if that wasn't enough, now they're bringing 3D.

Subscribing to Wealth TV will get you the 24/7 live feed as well as over 30 on-demand titles which includes 3D content like "The Enchanted Hill: Inside Hearst Castle" and "Wheel on Wheels: The Classic Benz."

"3D set owners can now turn to Roku as a source for family friendly and highly entertaining 3D content, says Roku founder and CEO Anthony Wood. "With Wealth TV's inaugural launch of 3D programming on Roku, we’re pleased to be a recognized source for consumers looking for a new dimension in television viewing."

Roku Users Get 24/7 Wealth TV Cable Feed

In addition to On Demand programming, you'll be able to tune in to the same channel your cable-subscribing friends have.

Wealth TV isn't exactly the biggest channel out there, but its addition to Roku players is an exciting one. It's not because there's programming available on demand or that Roku viewers will be watching it, but the way it's being delivered to the device.

Unlike most offerings for over-the-top boxes like Roku's line of media steamers, Wealth TV will be offering customers the ability to watch the same programming as they would on cable, live as it happens. It's cable without cable.

"We've received a large volume of consumer requests to expand our distribution to connected devices," says Wealth TV CEO Robert Herring. "This deployment will let us gauge the acceptability and viability of alternative distribution methods for our traditional cable feed."

Roku customers will be able to access this programming at a price of $2.99 a month.
