Yup, I'm one of those.
Don't have Sky Sports, don't have Movies, and when I looked into getting rid of Sky a while back one of the big sticking points was UK TV. My wife is a big fan of many of the UK programs, and while you can get some of them on other channels or streaming there are enough programs that you can't.
Also my wife likes simplicity - not having to hunt through multiple services to find the program she wants. For her, Sky fits the bill.
That's right, NEON is ridiculously cheap. People should be praying that HBO, Showtime, FX etc don't decide to have a go at joining the multitude of content providers in our small market by going OTT, and stick with Sky.
If you had to subscribe to all of their services separately, no way are you getting it for $13.95 per month.
Depending on how they go, some of the content providers may still end up doing non-exclusive deals with Sky. In the future Disney, for example, may want to offer their standalone option whilst also letting Sky bundle it with their content.
I imagine Sky would go for it if the price was right, so long as they were the only other entity that could broadcast/stream the content apart from the actual content provider.
Many many options going forward.
What's everyone's concensus on sky at the mo. One really bad result with no dividend. Will they return to a reduced dividend in March I'm actually surprised buy the continued drop.
