The PLEIO is a Freely-certified streaming puck from Netgem, model number N9600, listed at £99.00. It takes fifth place in this guide and is the most expensive device in it. The listing credits it with 32 GB of storage, 3 GB of RAM, 4K output at 3840 x 2160 pixels, a voice remote, a wireless gamepad and 12 months of cloud gaming, and says it pulls live TV over Wi-Fi with no aerial and no dish needed.

The field doing the most work on the page is the one labelled Network Connectivity Technology, which reads: Bluetooth 5.0, Dolby Atmos (Passthrough), HDMI 2.0/ HDMI 2.1, IR 38Khz, WiFi 6. Two of those five entries are network standards; Dolby Atmos is audio, IR 38Khz is a remote-control sensor and HDMI is a cable. The Supported Internet Services row goes the other way and opens with "4, 5" before it reaches BBC iPlayer, ITVx or Netflix. The ratings row shows 4.0 out of 5 from 306 ratings, while the star breakdown adds up to 100 entries — 55 five-star, 16 four-star and 29 at three stars or lower — which behaves like a percentage split rather than counts. None of this says the hardware is poor: one reviewer below reports Freely running flawlessly over Wi-Fi. It says the specification fields are doing marketing rather than measurement. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing, not from any testing we have carried out.

## Questions people ask

**Does the PLEIO N9600 need an aerial or a satellite dish?**

No. The listing says it is Freely certified and watches live TV over Wi-Fi with no aerial and no subscription needed, including BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5, restart live TV, pause and on-demand.

**What is in the box with the PLEIO Puck?**

The listing gives the box contents as an HDMI cable (2.0), the PLEIO Puck streaming device, a voice-enabled PLEIO remote control, a PLEIO wireless gaming controller and a UK plug power adaptor (USB-C).

**What happens to the cloud gaming after 12 months?**

The listing says 12 months of PLEIO Extra are included, covering 300+ cloud games and 150+ Extra Channels. After that it is £9.99 per month, or you keep using Freely and your apps completely free, with no lock-in.

**Why is Dolby Atmos in the network connectivity field?**

We cannot tell you — the listing itself puts Bluetooth 5.0, Dolby Atmos (Passthrough), HDMI 2.0/ HDMI 2.1, IR 38Khz and WiFi 6 in a single row labelled Network Connectivity Technology. That mixes audio, video cable and remote-sensor standards into a network field.

**How much storage and memory does the Netgem PLEIO have?**

As listed: 32 GB of memory storage capacity and 3 GB of RAM installed. The 32 GB figure is repeated in the bullet about downloading apps from the Google Play Store.

**What do the 306 ratings break down into?**

The listing shows 4.0 out of 5 from 306 ratings. Its star breakdown lists 55 five-star, 16 four-star, 12 three-star, 6 two-star and 11 one-star — 100 entries in total, which reads as a percentage split rather than counts against the 306.
