1432271 2017-03-03 07:11:00 Lightbox is obviously so good that Spark have to give it away.

Or is it, just that they need to offer something liek that to keep their customers.

Any knowledgeable computer user would have given up on Telecom/Xtra/Spark years ago.

But yes Sky must be spewing themselves!

Yes , Lightbox was a commercial flop . It was never going to succeed as intended , ie a pay for service only
It could never compete with Netflix, it was rolled out to late , with netflix starting to become the streaming site of choice . It was available on far too few devices . Its programs were far too few & too old , at the time
No XBOX support . what were they thinking
Initially only Samsung Smart TV support : just a stupid , short sited decision .

As a free streaming service, its not too bad . A few very good programs . A few classics & old favorites .
If you arnt a TV addict then theres enough on there to keep you interested .

Think of it as on par with the xtra email service :)
