Carry the seven kingdoms of Westeros in your pocket, spend your day off hunting for a serial killer on the Mexican border or veg for a couple of hours on the couch with Matthew McConaughey – it’s all possible with NEON.
NEON is a subscription video on demand (SVOD) service powered by SKY, which makes it easy for Kiwis to access great entertainment. NEON offers exclusive TV series, hundreds of movies, great factual entertainment, documentaries and brilliant family viewing.
The first 30 days are free and it’s just $20 every 30 days thereafter, with no long-term contracts and no ads. Launching in December, as well as great TV and film, NEON offers all the basics that users would expect, along with some great features that will make it a breeze to use.
This includes a handy bookmark so users can pick up and play where they left off, on any of their registered devices, whenever they like. NEON users can register up to five different devices and watch on two at the same time.
Parents can rest assured as parental pins can be set during NEON’s simple three-step sign up, and classifications and warnings for viewers are super clear.
At launch, NEON will be available on PC and Mac using an internet browser and on selected iPhones and iPads through our free NEON App. For those after a big-screen experience it’s easy using Apple TV to stream via Airplay and customers can also connect a laptop to a TV using an HDMI cable.
NEON won’t stop there though; in the New Year it will be available on Xbox 360 and selected Samsung Android tablets and phones.

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)
dclegg: Its concerning that the website states "Game of Thrones: Season 1". Does that mean they won't have all seasons available, including timely availability of the new season when it airs next year?
