Millions of households have embraced streaming through devices like Fire TV Sticks, but not all methods of accessing shows and movies are legitimate. Concerned users now have a legal alternative to ‘dodgy’ streaming boxes – the PLEIO, available on eBay. This puck-shaped device, powered by Freely, grants access to over 50 live channels and a plethora of on-demand content. It features a TV guide, personalized recommendations, and the ability to pause or rewind live TV.
In addition to TV services, the PLEIO box offers access to more than 250 games through the PLEIO Extra platform. Buyers receive a controller and a complimentary 12-month subscription to PLEIO Extra, followed by a £9.99 monthly fee. The device supports 4K streaming and comes with a voice-enabled remote control.
The PLEIO box can be purchased for £99 on eBay and Amazon. While similar to Sky’s Stream box, the PLEIO offers free content but lacks Sky’s premium lineup. Sky Stream customers can opt for additional services like Sky Sports, Sky Cinema, Netflix, Disney+, and HBO Max, starting at £15 per month. Those seeking free TV over broadband may find the PLEIO and Freely combo appealing, while viewers prioritizing live sports and premium entertainment may prefer Sky Stream.
