The popularity of streaming services like Fire TV Sticks has surged in numerous households. Nevertheless, not all methods of accessing entertainment content are legitimate.
For those wary of using unauthorized streaming devices, there is now a legal alternative for online content consumption. eBay has introduced the PLEIO, a puck-shaped device powered by Freely, providing access to over 50 live channels for free. Freely also offers on-demand content, a TV guide, personalized recommendations, and the ability to pause or rewind live TV.
Apart from television services, the PLEIO box includes access to over 250 games through the PLEIO Extra platform, complete with a controller. Buyers receive a complimentary 12-month subscription to PLEIO Extra, followed by a £9.99 monthly fee post the initial period. The device supports 4K streaming and features a voice-enabled remote control.
Interested buyers can purchase the PLEIO box for £99 on eBay and Amazon. While similar to Sky’s Stream box in functionality, PLEIO’s content range differs as it focuses on free channels without the premium offerings available on Sky.
Sky Stream customers have the option to add premium services like Sky Sports, Sky Cinema, Netflix, Disney+, and HBO Max, with prices starting from £15 per month. For households seeking free TV over broadband, the PLEIO and Freely combination may be a suitable choice. However, viewers looking for live sports, movies, and premium content may prefer Sky Stream for its broader offerings.
