Streaming content through devices like Fire TV Sticks has become increasingly popular in many households, but not all methods of accessing shows and movies are legitimate. To address concerns about the legality of certain streaming options, a new legal way to watch online content has emerged.
eBay has introduced the PLEIO, a puck-shaped device powered by Freely that grants users access to over 50 live channels for free. The device also offers on-demand content, a TV guide, personalized recommendations, and the ability to pause or rewind live TV. Additionally, users can enjoy access to more than 250 games through the PLEIO Extra platform, complete with a controller and a complimentary 12-month subscription. Subsequently, the subscription costs £9.99 per month.
Notable features of the PLEIO box include support for 4K streaming and a voice-controlled remote. The device is available for purchase on eBay and Amazon for £99.
While the PLEIO box shares similarities with Sky’s Stream box in terms of offering dish-free content viewing, the key distinction lies in the range of available content. While Freely provides free channels, it lacks the premium lineup available through Sky, which includes services like Sky Sports, Sky Cinema, Netflix, Disney+, and HBO Max for additional fees starting at £15 per month.
For households seeking free TV content over broadband, the PLEIO with Freely could be a practical choice. However, viewers prioritizing live sports, movies, and premium entertainment might find Sky Stream more suitable.
