It all really depends on how they're actually transmitting. I'm
assuming 'side by side' but they don't seem to have gone into the
technical details.

Assuming side by side, the quick and easy approach, for non 3D TV
owners, is to hack up an anaglyph filter and break out an old pair of
red/cyan glasses. I've been meaning to tinker with that for ages:) Not
exactly state of the art though.
