Streaming TV content is a popular trend, with many households turning to devices like Fire TV Sticks. However, not all streaming methods are legal. For those seeking a legitimate way to access online content, eBay now offers the PLEIO device. This puck-shaped gadget, powered by Freely, provides over 50 live channels for free, as well as on-demand content and features like a TV guide and personalized recommendations. Users can even 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 12 months of free PLEIO Extra access, with a subsequent monthly subscription cost of £9.99. The device supports 4K streaming and comes with a voice-enabled remote control.
Priced at £99, the PLEIO box is available on eBay and Amazon. While similar to Sky’s Stream box, the PLEIO lacks Sky’s premium content lineup. Sky Stream customers can add services like Sky Sports, Sky Cinema, Netflix, Disney+, and HBO Max for a starting price of £15 per month.
For households interested in free TV over broadband, the PLEIO and Freely combo could be a practical choice. However, viewers prioritizing live sports, movies, and premium entertainment may prefer Sky Stream for its broader content offerings.
