The Netgem Pleio is designed to deliver UK TV channels over the internet through the Freely platform, combining live and on-demand content from major broadcasters like BBC, ITV, Channel 4, and Channel 5. However, because everything is streamed via broadband rather than satellite or aerial, your location plays a crucial role in what you can actually watch. When used outside the UK — for example in Spain — many channels and services are likely to be restricted due to geo-blocking rules tied to broadcasting rights.
As a result, using the device abroad without a VPN or Smart DNS solution will usually lead to limited or blocked access, particularly for live TV and catch-up services. While the box itself will still function, the viewing experience will not match what users get inside the UK. This highlights a key limitation of broadband-delivered TV platforms like Freely — unlike satellite reception, access is controlled by your internet location, meaning additional setup is often required to restore full UK viewing when overseas.
