Streaming content through devices like Fire TV Sticks has become popular in many households, but not all methods of accessing shows and movies are legal. To address concerns about using unauthorized streaming devices, there is a new legal option available for online content viewing.
eBay now offers the PLEIO, a puck-shaped device powered by Freely, providing access to over 50 live channels at no cost. Freely also includes on-demand content, a TV guide, personalized recommendations, and the ability to pause and rewind live TV.
In addition to TV services, the PLEIO box offers access to more than 250 games through the PLEIO Extra platform. It comes with a controller, and buyers receive 12 months of PLEIO Extra access for free. Following the initial period, the subscription is £9.99 per month.
Other features of the PLEIO box include support for 4K streaming and a voice-enabled remote control. The device is available for £99 on eBay and Amazon.
While similar to Sky’s Stream box in functionality, the PLEIO box does not offer the same premium content lineup as Sky. Sky Stream customers can add services like Sky Sports, Sky Cinema, Netflix, Disney+, and HBO Max for additional monthly fees starting from £15.
For households seeking free TV over broadband, the PLEIO and Freely combo could be a suitable choice. However, viewers looking for live sports, movies, and premium entertainment may prefer Sky Stream for its broader content offerings.
