pluNplay - does this work in the UK, is it legal?

[Paul Drawmer]

Just seen this, has anyone any experience of it?

Supposed to get all content for free once installed.
Does it come under the heading..."If it sounds too good to be true..."?

I saw it in a facebook post that stated this:

"A friend is doing these amazing plug and play 4K TV boxes. No monthly fee, No subscription just a small one off payment for the box itself. It gives you all live UK and US TV and Radio including all SKY Channels, HBO, Showtime, Sports channels etc as well as a load of other stuff including all the the latest movies and TV on demand. It works anywhere in the world with no VPN! I've got one and they are brilliant!"

I'm wondering if it is just a smart box, and the content reference is exaggerated.

That handset looks very similar to the old controller for the Sumvision Cyclone

Wonder if it is one of their products rebranded.

You might want to look at this which is possibly the software underneath it.

What does the box do that a £50 box off ebay doesn't do. Also I've just boutique that exact same remote from amazon for £12 turn use with my box.

it will just be a Android box with Kodi installed.

Far easier to do it yourself! I ran a £80 box for a while was a bit pants, sent it back eventually and now run Kodi on an Amazon FireTV box and Firestick, runs far smoother on them.

Definitely Kodi install, you can tell that by the pictures which show the page/item number in bottom corner.

Wow, they really want to rip you off.

PH does it again!

Thank you all for your prompt replies, I now know what it is and what it does, and a better way of getting the benefits.

Same sort of thing you can get off Amazon for under £30: http://amzn.to/2ex2nIU

Obviously receiving all kinds of services for free won't be legitimate.

As above, just buy an Amazon fire, install Kodi and something like 1channel.

It's perfectly legal though as you are not downloading as per the European court.

True, but providing them is, so you might just randomly find they stop working.

Imagine its a loophole that'll get shutdown at some point.

Technically so, if only through a frankly incomprehensible decision that is undoubtedly going to be legislated out of existence before too long.

But either way, legal or not you are still downloading stuff that you have not paid for, in a way that the rights holder absolutely will not support, and as such the creators will not receive their rightful compensation for providing your entertainment. So legally, yeah you're covered, just. Morally? Questionable at best.
