Streaming content through devices like Fire TV Sticks has become a popular choice for many households. However, the legality of some of these streaming methods has raised concerns among users.
To address these worries, a legal alternative for online content consumption has emerged. eBay now offers the PLEIO, a puck-shaped device powered by Freely, providing access to over 50 live channels at no cost. The Freely platform also includes on-demand content, a TV guide, personalized recommendations, and the ability to pause or rewind live TV.
Apart from television services, the PLEIO box offers access to more than 250 games through the PLEIO Extra platform, which includes a controller. Buyers receive a complimentary 12-month subscription to PLEIO Extra, after which a monthly fee of £9.99 applies.
The PLEIO box supports 4K streaming and comes with a voice-enabled remote control. Priced at £99, the PLEIO box is available on both eBay and Amazon.
While similar to Sky’s Stream box in function, the key difference lies in the content range. While Freely provides free channels, it lacks the premium content offered by Sky, such as Sky Sports, Sky Cinema, Netflix, Disney+, and HBO Max, which can be added to Sky Stream packages for an additional monthly fee starting at £15.
Households seeking free TV content over broadband may find the PLEIO and Freely combination a suitable choice. For those prioritizing live sports, movies, and premium entertainment, Sky Stream may be a more appropriate option.
