Digital entertainment platform Netgem TV appears to have recently slashed the price of their new UltraHD (4K) IPTV set-top-box – PLEIO, which includes support for the UK’s newest broadband-based live TV streaming service (Freely) and can now be had for just £80.
Take note that PLEIO (retail via Amazon – affiliate link) is not designed to fully record TV shows. But despite the price cut it does still ship with the added bonus of a 12-months subscription to their premium content service (you don’t have to keep the subscription after it ends), which normally costs £9.99 per month. The PLEIO subscription gives access to 250+ Cloud Games and 150+ extra TV channels.
The latest price cut makes the PLEIO set-top-box (includes remote control and game controller) slightly cheaper than Manhattan TV’s recently launched budget Aero 4K box (details), which at the time of writing can be purchased on Amazon for £89. But for those with deeper pockets there’s always the PVR capable Humax AuraEZ (FHR-6000T), yet that’ll set you back around £250, and it’s recording capability only works via the old Freeview signal (you can’t record when using Freely).
