Visiting eBay I have seen details of the Netgem Pleio set-top box and here’s an article about the Freely information:
-
The Manhattan Aero was mentioned as it is about £70. It’s a basic version rather than the hard drive version.
Freely is increasing its share of the TV market and yet the figures remain concerning homes that have no Broadband and if Freeview ends then the next option is a satellite dish and a Sky+ HD set-top box instead. My Hisense 4K TV was bought especially because the rear panel has the circle satellite input and the USB input helps to record programmes with its start and end times.
My Sky+ HD box was bought from eBay as I upgraded to the 2TB storage instead. The viewing card was changed to cancel Sky channels but keep the free channels and I pay £11 a month for the time shift actions and the Internet Catchup downloads to the Sky+ Planner.
Freeview required an installation. Sky required an installation. So the latest technology is directing millions to a totally separate Internet Broadband service across the UK. HD channels use more storage and some HD channels are still free.
Broadband is wonderful if it remains affordable and yet the Internet savings elsewhere can offset the Broadband and phone service charges. Otherwise, haggle or switch. My TV Licence is £180. I can get lots of discounts for some Internet purchases to pay towards this monthly charge, too. Just ONE TV ADVERT could save us hundreds or thousands of pounds.

Great discussion going on here! Just wanted to drop a quick tip for anyone who might struggle with translating complex phrases or posts on the go. I’ve been using this free online translator https://www.deepl.com/uk/translator for a while now, and it’s been a lifesaver for catching all the details in the threads. Hope someone finds it useful!
