Netgem PLEIO Reviews 41

Works great good picture would be nice to have blaze tv app and realy tv as well but very pleased with it .

Laggy, buggy, slow piece of rubbish.

Two updates so far have resulted o the remote failing to work and having to use a universal alternative to navigate to the menu that allows remote pairing for the original.

Sound sync issues are an absolute mile out. So out of synch that manual adjustment isn't even an option. I'd dread to think how someone not technically minded would cope with it.

Gaming is non existent, don't even bother considering their terrible third rate streaming service, which just adds an unrequited additional cost to the whole package.

When ITVX, changed requirements to recieve it's format I was contemplating upgrading my tv. This box changed all that and saved me a lot of money and stopped my tv going to landfill. Would/will recommend getting one.

Brilliant little device, easy to set up , designed for android as opposed to apple, so just took a little more time to set up as I had to manually sign in to google! Other than that has turned my tv into a place where I can flick through channels to find things to watch, rather than open every single app for live tv. All other apps signed in easily for set up too 👍

Great customer service - I needed a new remote for my Pleio device and the CS rep was able to send me one with no issues. Very pleased with the service so far!

Easy to set up. Great picture

Quick delivery through Amazon (within 12 hours!) and the Plieo itself is well packaged and compact. It’s easy to set up and use. A great alternative to Freeview and to sticks from NOW and Amazon. Using android it’s easy to have all the streaming apps installed on one device. I’m really pleased with it after cancelling Virgin Mafia as we don’t have a smart tv. It’s a bit more expensive than other items but I think it’s worth it. The games are pretty good too.

excellent google tv box with freely built in. ordered from Amazon.co.uk on saturday 21st March delivered next day.

Does what it says. Small and discreet. Nice picture on TV unlike aerial satellite which can be affected by weather and trees.

Love everything about the TV and streaming capabilities, the voice activation, and compactness. The game section is fun too.

Horrible little device, slow and clunky. Because of the way it's had to be set up there's two entirely different instances of the same apps in many cases, there's no longer Google TV's home screen with it's recommendations and the device is entirely locked down so you cant change to your own launcher etc. If you only want to watch TV channels and a little streaming from apps and you've given up on life then this device will be fine, but if you're used to having a streaming TV box and being able to customise it this isnt for you. This should be £50 max without all the games and controller etc as a cheap alternative to a non-recordable Freeview box or a £100 device that's powerful and snappy. It's neither of these but still £100 or more. The extra they charge gives you access to laggy web-streamed games and FAST TV channels for 12 months, id be surprised if ANYONE chooses to subscribe monthly after this. Mine went straight back to Amazon within 3 days..

having no aerial in my room i always relied on the apps to get live tv and was a pain. now i can just simply change channel and watch via freely. to be honest its the only thing i use i dont bother with the games

Arrived quickly. Easy to set up and use. Great picture quality and sound .

It's ideal and a perfect solution for terrestrial TV using Freely,, which is what I got it for as 8 haven't got an aerial or Freely TV
Apps are all from Play Store, so anything you have on your phone is usually there for Android TV as well.
Games aren't the best, do t expect 5* games, but that's expected for a device this cheap. I haven't checked to see if you can buy games for it though.
I find the controller to be very average and not that responsive, at least from my small use on it.
When streaming on there I do find that it disconnects from the internet intermittently though, but it's just a warning comes up saying that it's disconnected and seconds later it's connected again, this and the controller issue is the only reason to drop 1 star.
I find the box excellent and value for money and would highly recommend it especially as a beginner guide for gaming for kids.

I purchased one of these a few weeks ago and wrote my review then, I now wish to update my review after having used it for a few weeks.
Initially I had a problem with the puck responding erratically to the handset , this turned out to be that the batteries supplied with the puck ( brand new and sealed) were very low in power, once changed the issue was sorted, I also had a problem where the puck would not fully pick up my WiFi signal when I put the puck behind the TV, after some experimenting I ended up putting the puck on the rear if the TV but as low as possible and that problem has also now sorted that problem , So 2 weeks in and what problems remain, well basically NONE , the Freely software has a couple of oddments about it, sometimes the information at the bottom of the screen disappears within a few seconds, sometimes you have to push the back button for it to go so simply make it that you push the back button each time, sometimes you can push the guide button from an application and it shows , sometimes not, simply make sure you navigate to the home button each time before pushing the guide button, and on some stations if you miss a program, you have to wait up to an hour before you can watch it on catch-up , can be a bit of a pain when you are used to having plus 1 channels but not the end of the world, but all told it works really well and is simple to use, well worth the money

value for money! Easy setup, smooth 4K streaming, plenty of live TV channels, and cloud gaming works surprisingly well with the gamepad and voice remote

What an amazing little device. Feels like something truly new, all the live telly, games and streaming services together in a way that's actually AFFORDABLE

Great customer service!!! It took me a while to get my hands on stock for the pleio as it was always sold out, but they were really responsive through their website and let me know it was back in stock. Been using it for about two weeks and it's exactly what I wanted. Not sure if I'll continue paying the subscription for the games and other channels, but well worth it anyway.

Great experience with the product, the PLEIO PUCK is great, would recommend!

I found the Pleio very easy to set up and I am very pleased with the picture and sound quality. However the microphone button when working is a great feature but it stops working and the only remedy is to unpair and set up again. This happens regularly and is very frustrating. A great addition would be the ability to jump 24 hours in the programme guide instead of endless scrolling backwards and forwards. On rare occasions when I choose a channel the screen goes black and the only remedy is a restart. Hopefully future software updates will solve these problems and improve the experience of watching Freely. One final question do owners of the Pleio puck get notifications of any software updates?
