The shift to streaming services like Fire TV Sticks is widely known, with a variety of methods available for accessing shows and movies, including some that are not authorized. Now, individuals seeking legal alternatives for online content can explore the PLEIO device, recently stocked on eBay. This compact gadget, powered by Freely, grants users access to over 50 live channels for free. Freely also offers on-demand content, a TV guide, personalized recommendations, and the ability to pause or rewind live TV.
In addition to television services, the PLEIO box provides 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, with subsequent months priced at £9.99. The device supports 4K streaming and features a voice-enabled remote control.
Interested buyers can purchase the PLEIO box for £99 on eBay and Amazon. While similar to Sky’s Stream box in functionality, the key distinction lies in the content range. While Freely offers free channels, it lacks the premium lineup available through Sky Stream, which includes options like Sky Sports, Sky Cinema, Netflix, Disney+, and HBO Max for additional fees starting at £15 per month.
For households seeking free TV via broadband, the PLEIO and Freely combo presents a viable option. However, those prioritizing live sports, movies, and premium entertainment may find Sky Stream more suitable.
