Netgem TV Add New Games and Channels to PLEIO Freely UK Streaming TV Box
Digital entertainment platform Netgem TV has today announced that their latest UltraHD (4K) IPTV box – PLEIO, which includes support for the UK’s newest broadband-based live TV streaming service (Freely), will now return to adopting a “permanent” price of £99 and has also added new video games, as well as some extra TV channels.
“The rising cost of RAM is a significant factor for everyone in the industry, but we have made the strategic decision to absorb these costs rather than passing them on to the consumer. While the raw costs would justify a higher RRP, we have settled on a permanent price of £99 to prioritise the growth of our user base,” said a spokesperson for the company.
In addition, the company has added a number of new video games to their cloud gaming and premium TV subscription, which usually comes bundled with the PLEIO for 12-months (returns to an optional £9.99/month thereafter). On top of that they’ve also added two additional FAST (Free Ad-Supported Streaming TV) channels, including “Cosmic Frontliners” and “Magellan Wildest“.

Finally, in terms of recent software (firmware) changes, the set-top-box has also added modern “picture-in-picture” functionality. The main catch in all this is that the PLEIO box is currently still listed as being out of stock on Amazon.

They need to sort out their PLEIO pricing after the first year. If the box is £99 with 12 months subs to PLEIO included, after the 12 months is up, they expect you to pay £9.99 per month. It would be cheaper to throw out the old box and buy a new one rather than continue paying the subs monthly.
