Streaming entertainment has become a popular choice for many households, with devices like Fire TV Sticks gaining massive adoption. However, not all streaming methods are legal, raising concerns among viewers. To address this, a legal alternative has emerged for online content consumption.
eBay has introduced the PLEIO, a puck-shaped device powered by Freely that provides access to over 50 live channels at no cost. The Freely platform also offers on-demand content, a TV guide, personalized recommendations, and the ability to pause or rewind live TV. Additionally, the PLEIO box includes access to more than 250 games through the PLEIO Extra platform, complete with a controller and a complimentary 12-month subscription.
Key features of the PLEIO box include support for 4K streaming and a voice-enabled remote control. Available for purchase at £99 on eBay and Amazon, the PLEIO box rivals Sky’s Stream box, which offers a similar no-dish, no-aerial viewing experience.
While Freely provides free channels, it lacks the premium selection offered by Sky, including Sky Sports, Sky Cinema, Netflix, Disney+, and HBO Max. Sky Stream subscriptions start at £15 per month, making it a more comprehensive option for viewers seeking premium content.
Households looking for free TV content over broadband may find the PLEIO and Freely combination a suitable choice. However, viewers prioritizing live sports, movies, and premium entertainment may opt for Sky Stream for a broader range of content options.
