Sky definitely had a Sky 3D channel for a few years but I think the plug was pulled around 2014/15. Although I never owned a 3D set I remember seeing a Sky 3D advert at the cinema (before a 3D film) and the best part was the Sports coverage, but I don’t think that lasted too long. If memory serves for an average Premier League game in 3D, I recall reading that they needed an additional entire camera set up just for 3D.
The BBC HD channel was used for 3D events for a little while, they certainly used it for Wimbledon in 3D once, this was after BBC One HD was a thing. Although I recall seeing that coverage on my TV and it was simply 2 pictures side by side. Eurosport also had a 3D service on Virgin Media, but this I think was only a pop up one about 10/11 years ago, maybe for an Olympics or French Open?
