I had Lightbox through Spark, but also already had a Neon account before the merger too. Yesterday it became possible to add my Neon in the "Get More" section of MySpark. It was very easy and painless. Only thing to be aware of is that it takes a while for the "Activate" button to appear in MySpark; the email asking you to activate arrived immediately, but it was about 10mins and several page refreshes before it appeared in MySpark. Once it appeared it was a doddle. I have confirmed in my settings in Neon that the scheduled credit card payment for a few days time has been cancelled. 

 

Yup, we activated the myspark and store side at 10am yesterday.

 

there is a trick to the "get more" page, in that it caches, that's why you have the 10 mins or so delay.

 

But am I correct in saying that if you were an existing LightBox customer and you have watched over 3 hours of Neon during the trial period - for me it is more like 15 hours and 2 movies rentals - then you are already automatically signed up.

 

My Neon account page is saying; Current Plan is Spark Customer $0.00 to pay. Whilst I can find no reference to the Neon $9.95 on my MySpark Account page the same way as I can for my Netflix addition.

 

Or do I have to manually Add Neon ?? or will this automatically occur over the next few days ??





Whilst the difficult we can do immediately, the impossible takes a bit longer. However, miracles you will have to wait for.

looks like I am late to the party, I never used Neon during the trial period as a Lightbox customer, but tried to sign up today to see a $13.95/m price

 

 

 

correction - the discount is still available by signing up through MySpark page,  I have it now

Terminator: Dark Fate says coming soon - 16th August.

It's the 16th today so, this is slightly irritating. It's not available yet.

Edit: Sky, can you fix this by 8:30pm tonight please? ; ).

I just rented Dark Fate on Apple TV, 99 cent movie of the week - in 4K and full 5.1 sound. (Dolby Atmos, but I don't have that set up)

 

Even if had Neon, I'd still pay 99 cents for the upgrade.

Hmm. I don't have this mail at all. No communication since the Spark mail on 31st July.

Looking at the profile My Account details there is a promotional mail option. I've checked it now. That did not instantly generate anything.

Are these premiere mails monthly or weekly?

In a slightly unrelated note. Linda Hamilton is a terrible actress!

Turned on automatic loudness compensation. That helped a little. Voice is where the real problem is. Maybe I'm getting 2.1 through a 2.0 setup?

Yeah , well, the movie is quite average so she fits in well. I've been a fan of all the Terminator movies but this one is underwhelming from the story point of view. Quite cookie-cutter and predictable.

 

 

 

On the upside, Neon streamed the movie flawlessly and has been working well since the merge. I'm liking the introduction of user profiles which is something it didn't have before.





Most of the posters in this thread are just like chimpanzees on MDMA, full of feelings of bonhomie, joy, and optimism. Fred99 8/4/21

I cant recommend Ford V Ferrari enough. I'd already seen it multiple times before it released on Neon but its so damn good. One of the better sports drama's out there for sure.

Brilliant movie. Pity about Neon's audio though.

Terminator had subtitles on my windows system. Yay! Easy watch at low volume.

It's unfortunate that subtitles are not standard with Neon. I find I'm not using it much for that reason.

Anyone know when Neon will get a app for PS5.
