In today’s era, a significant number of households have transitioned to streaming services using devices like Fire TV Sticks. However, it’s common knowledge that not all methods of accessing shows, movies, and sports events through these platforms are legal.
For individuals wary of the risks associated with using ‘dodgy’ streaming boxes, a new legal option for online content consumption has emerged.
eBay has recently introduced the PLEIO, a small puck-shaped device powered by Freely that grants access to over 50 live channels at no cost. Alongside live TV, Freely offers on-demand content, a TV guide, personalized recommendations, and the capability to pause or rewind live broadcasts.
Besides television services, the PLEIO box includes a bonus feature: access to more than 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 per month charge thereafter.
Additional perks of the PLEIO box comprise support for 4K streaming and a voice-controlled remote. Available for £99 on eBay and Amazon, the PLEIO box presents an enticing offer.
The PLEIO box may remind users of Sky’s Stream box, eliminating the need for a traditional dish or aerial. However, while Freely offers free channels, it lacks the extensive premium content lineup available with Sky.
Sky Stream customers have the option to include premium services like Sky Sports, Sky Cinema, Netflix, Disney+, and HBO Max for additional monthly fees starting from £15.
For households seeking free TV via broadband, the PLEIO and Freely combo could be a practical choice. On the other hand, viewers prioritizing live sports, movies, and premium entertainment might find Sky Stream a more suitable option.
