In today’s era, a vast number of households have made the switch to streaming using devices like Fire TV Sticks. However, it’s common knowledge that not all methods of accessing shows, movies, and sports content are legitimate.

For those worried about the risks associated with streaming through unauthorized means, a new legal option has emerged for online content consumption.

eBay has recently started offering the PLEIO, a puck-shaped device powered by Freely that grants access to over 50 live channels at no cost. Freely also provides a wide array of on-demand content, a personalized TV guide, tailored recommendations, and the capability to pause or rewind live TV.

Beyond television services, the PLEIO box boasts an added benefit of access to more than 250 games through the PLEIO Extra platform, complete with a controller. Buyers will receive a complimentary 12-month subscription to PLEIO Extra, with subsequent monthly subscriptions priced at £9.99.

Additional features of the PLEIO box include support for 4K streaming and a voice-controlled remote. Interested buyers can purchase the PLEIO box for £99 on eBay and Amazon.

The PLEIO offering may remind some of Sky’s Stream box, which also enables content viewing without the need for a satellite dish or antenna. The key distinction lies in the content variety, with Freely providing free channels but lacking Sky’s premium lineup options.

Sky Stream customers can augment their services with offerings like Sky Sports, Sky Cinema, Netflix, Disney+, and HBO Max, depending on the package chosen, with monthly fees starting from £15.

For households seeking free broadband-delivered TV, the PLEIO and Freely combination presents a viable choice. However, viewers prioritizing live sports, movies, and premium content might still prefer Sky Stream for a more comprehensive offering.
