That's too many devices anyway, you can only register 5.  ;-)

You said you wouldn't use the service because it's not available on ALL devices.  Then you retract that and say it's because Sky are evil.  Sounds to me like you enjoy complaining and have no intention of using the service anyway.  To complain about something that you have no intention of using just fills up the thread.  Try chilling out, it's a long weekend.... have a nice one.

rlevis: On a slightly different subject, what maximum video resolution is generally used for these streaming services?  Does US Netflix do 1080p or just 720p?

Lias: Wonder if Vodafone TV / TBoxes will be upgraded to support this as well, given we currently get normal sky and sky go.

Ain't it fun watching the drones get down and dirty with forum randoms. You can react to this too: the brand is derivative and the logo is crap

markl: Available later on "selected Samsung Android tablets and phones". 

For f*#@'s sake, they just don't CARE do they? I'm not going to bother unless it's available on ALL android devices.

It only has to be available on the devices you have doesn't it? ;-)

I have 2 pcs, 2 laptops, a surface RT a Samsung Note 10.1, and a Galaxy S3 which will theoretically all be capable of viewing Neon. But I object on principle. Just like I object to everything that Apple do - because it's anti-competitive, monopolistic bulls%$t. 

Sky are the evil empire, and for that reason I'll stick with lightbox, even though it is owned by the next most evil company in the country - Telecom (sorry, Spark)

Sorry, but I don't follow this hate mentality. I have a mate who refuses to get a PS as he hates Sony. I know many on here hate Sky, its the thin gto do, but at the end of the day, users can choose what they buy or not buy. In the TV world, there is competition. EPL split off, Quickflix, my company's Lightbox, Sky's Neon, and no doubt others I have missed. This is the competition that the Sky haters have been wanting, its here.

Doesn't mean people will suddenly warm to Sky as a company. Just in the same way that people didn't suddenly warm to Telecom once competition came along. People have emotional connections to businesses, either negative or positive, that depend on how well people feel they are treated by that company. Companies that are or were a monopoly (by default or otherwise) commonly trigger a negative emotional response because often there is no choice but to be with them to receive the kind of product they are offering. Once competition comes along, that company can find it very hard to shake the perception that they are anything more than the monopoly they once were. Some even go to the extremes of changing their name...

JimmyH: Until we see the actual product and line-up, I'm prepared to give them the benefit of the doubt - but I don't think I will be subscribing.

It looks like it will cost more than Netflix and, at least as importantly, won't support my existing hardware for piping video to my TVs (WD Lives and Minix android boxes). Writing an android app, and then making it available on Samsung devices only, seems a bit of a strange strategy. Especially when Netflix and Hulu with which, whether Sky likes it or not, the new service is in direct competition run on a wide set of devices.
