Streaming content through devices like Fire TV Sticks has become popular in many households, but not all methods are legal. To address these concerns, an alternative legal option for online viewing has emerged.
eBay now offers the PLEIO, a puck-shaped device powered by Freely, providing access to over 50 live channels for free. Freely also includes on-demand content, a TV guide, personalized recommendations, and live TV pause and rewind features.
Apart from TV services, the PLEIO box offers access to over 250 games through the PLEIO Extra platform, complete with a controller. Buyers receive 12 months of free PLEIO Extra access, with a subsequent monthly subscription cost of £9.99.
Additional features of the PLEIO box include 4K streaming support and a voice-enabled remote control. Priced at £99, the PLEIO box is available on eBay and Amazon.
While similar to Sky’s Stream box, PLEIO differs in its content range. While Freely offers free channels, it lacks the premium lineup available on Sky, where users can add services like Sky Sports, Sky Cinema, Netflix, Disney+, and HBO Max for additional monthly fees starting at £15.
For households seeking free TV over broadband, the PLEIO and Freely combo could be a practical choice. On the other hand, viewers prioritizing live sports, movies, and premium entertainment may prefer Sky Stream.
