If it makes you feel any better I have been paying through the nose for Sky every day for 30 years, except when I've been offshore which was about 5 years in the middle.

That does make me feel slightly better. You soon get Neon for free. ;)
Parents have been overpaying for a similar time and still are. I tried to review their account at one point to which Dad said just leave it. I guess he is happy paying to much and why mess with it if things work. I think he even has the dual room but only watches one TV. That is just stupid unless he has a scret tv in the Bathroom ?
They sent a survey recently about rewarding customers - one option was $10 off 1 month bill every 12 months if loyal. I commented that being a long term subscriber I thought something a bit better might be in order,
Also mentioned about knowing about ringing up for a better deal, threatening to leave etc and getting a reasonable discount etc - may fall on deaf ears but who knows!
congrats on your great unprompted discount! Ha.
as a shareholder that leaves me a bit perturbed of course.
One question: why are you after Neon exactly? Are you subscribed to Soho and/or movies on your skybox? If not, what makes you want Neon instead of Soho/Movies? Price? Or usability? Or both?
I do have Soho but not movies. Although I find myself not watching Soho much anymore. I have become used to watching things when I want to, not when Sky says I can, probably because of the other on demand options like Netflix etc.
I basically have Sky for the sport. So I thought I'd add Neon to my lineup which already includes Sky, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Apple TV.
I'll give it a couple of months and see. All though, if it is anything like the other ones, I'll end up probably just keeping it lol. TBH, I am struggling to find decent things to watch on Netflix, Amazon Prime and Apple TV. Probably just enough watchable stuff for me to justify keeping them.
ok so NEON will essentially just be adding movies for you. You probably know this, but just in case you didn’t: all the shows on Soho are available on demand inside the SkyGo streaming app. The big difference between NEON and skygo functionality when watching on demand is that the skygo app isn’t yet available on appletv/chromecast etc so you have to stream the shows via Airplay or Chromecast from your phone/computer/tablet to your TV.
