To that end Motorola has developed an update for its latest set-top boxes that allow them to automatically detect and process 3D signals so those properly equipped can watch without having to lift a finger, and even adjusts the on screen graphics to match. No word when operators will actually deploy the new software, though odds are it will be well before you actually buy a 3DTV so we wouldn't worry too much, yet.

This of course means that if you already have a new HDTV and a new AV receiver, you kind of missed the Dolby Volume bus, but now you might just be in luck. Motorola and Dolby have worked out a deal that'll bring it to the DCX family of set-top boxes. The DCX700 and DCX3300 boxes will now ship with it, but providers will also have option to push an update for the DCX3400 HD-DVR and DCX3200 -- assuming your cable company loves you. And don't worry if you prefer dynamic sound, if you're lucky enough to get this from your provider there will be a setting to turn it off.
