4K PLEIO Streaming Device sells out in HOURS!

 (25 Nov 2025, Updated at 26 Nov 2025)

4K PLEIO Streaming Device sells out, on Amazon, in HOURS!




Speaking to Cord Busters, Netgem UK’s managing director Sylvain Thevenot said the company had seen “seen exceptional demand for PLEIO”.

“While we knew the UK was ready for a modern, aerial-free TV experience, the speed at which the public embraced this new proposition took us by surprise, and we sold out of our initial allocation on Amazon in under 24 hours,” he explained.

We have already shipped a significant new wave of devices to replenish stock, but given the Black Friday volume, Amazon’s fulfilment centres are taking a few days to process and scan new inventory.”

Netgem launches latest Multiscreen TV service for ZEOP in France, with new Netgem UI on Android TV


Netgem launches a complete revamp of the Zeop TV product in the ‘La Reunion’ territory in France 2023-06-07


"Zeop TV, with a reach of 100,000+ customers, is at this occasion enhanced with 12 more Replay services, added to the best quality live experience, all accessible via the same acclaimed UI for ‘the most advanced TV service’, already running on Netgem TV boxes, Apple TV, Laptop browsers and Mobile Apps." (2023)

"Plus de 300 000 foyers sont déjà raccordables à la fibre et zeop poursuit son déploiement.  (2023)

The estimated number of Internet users in La Réunion is 480,000. ... La Réunion’s Internet market is highly competitive compared to the rest of France, with a choice of six service providers for a population of only 860,000 – a density of operators unique to the island. This high market penetration doesn’t mean an end to growth, however, as the rapid deployment of fibre-optic technology shows. When it comes to fibre to the home (FTTH), La Réunion is way ahead of France with approximately 75 percent of Réunionese homes now connectable. In locations where there are two or three co-existing fibre networks, of which Zeop is one, the high level of competition has helped the fast deployment of fibre over the whole island. (2019)"

The first TV service in Europe to bring TikTok to the large screen: UK TalkTalk & Netgem TV

 (MARCH 21, 2022)

 “...Netgem TV is the first TV service in Europe to bring TikTok to the large screen: adding the fastest growing video service to the living room, starting in the UK with TalkTalk, is a not only a testament to our agility, but also at the heart of our positioning of always bringing the most relevant content to consumers without having to systematically pay more.”

TalkTalk has partnered with Netgem to deliver a new 4K TV box to its fibre customers.

Customers can access more than 70 channels and on-demand players through the Netgem TV interface including Netflix and Prime Video. The TalkTalk TV 4K Box is available on new and existing fibre plans.

..."



(In the first quarter of 2022, NetgemTV is thus the first multi-screen TV streaming platform to integrate the TikToK service on its boxes as part of the TalkTalk deployment.)

Netgem powers next-generation multi-screen television service, ZEOPTV

2022

ZEOP from Réunion Island, a French department in the Indian Ocean
goes to next-generation multi-screen television service, ZEOP TV,
again with NETGEM TV support.

Zeop TV, at Reunion has everything to be an excellent global showcase of Netgem's multiservices! That's because a consortium integrating Zeop (groupe Océinde) plans to transform the French overseas territory Reunion Island into one of the world's digital hubs!

"Oceinde's subsidiary Zeop invested €50 million ($57 million) in the new cable called Metiss, together with its business partners Canal+ and SFR from France, Mauritius-based CEB Fibernet and Emtel as well as Madgascar's Telma.

The consortium intends to spend another €120 million on a second cable linking Reunion Island to India.

What's more, several huge data centers are to be built on the island. "We are hoping to convince companies to invest up to €1 billion and are already in talks with several interested investors," Goulamaly explained."

Netgem, bonnes perspectives pour 2022

...bonnes perspectives pour 2022:

(Note: this analysis of Sep. 02, 2021 did not take into account subsequent agreements / deals with: "TalkTalk UK" (with Over4 million broadband customers); PREMIERE MAX - France (for Premiere's 3,375,000 readers) and  Ireland’s no.1 Broadband Provider Pure Telecom launche by Netgem.TV)

seekingalpha research:

"On a conservative basis, the net equity valuation per share is estimated at €2.7 at FY2021, €3.6 at FY2022 and €4.7 at FY2023, representing massive triple-digit upsides from where we are today."

"(...)

C5. Conservative valuation suggests significant upside

To value Netgem which is in essence a growing technology business, we can reasonably use the EV/EBITDA approach based on a conservative projection.

Gross profit. Given the multiple drivers of growth I believe that Netgem can maintain at least a 15% growth guidance in 2021 over the next few years. This 15% guidance incorporates the impact of the global shortage of certain electronic components. Let's assume 15% growth for future year for the sake of conservatism.

Operating expense. Despite gross profit growth, Netgem is able to reduce cost in 2021 thanks to the restructuring and cost savings at Vitis. These activities are still ongoing so we should be able to see further benefits. Putting this upside aside, after the cost of goods sold, Netgem is a basically a fixed-cost business thanks to its focus on software development and B2B distribution. For conservatism, I assume the increase in expense corresponds to 25% of gross profit increase or an implied marginal EBITDA / Gross Profit of 75%.

EV. To estimate EV, I conservatively use a multiple of EV/EBITDA of 15x, which could be considered to be low for a growing technology business. We observe much higher multiples in similar businesses below.

Net Cash. Net cash of €4.3M at the end of June 2021 is adjusted in the calculation.

Minority Interest. 47% of Vitis is owned by other shareholders (Groupe Caisse de Dépôts and Océinde). I conservatively assume this minority part represents 20% of Netgem value despite the fact that the Europe ex. France, notably in the UK, have a much better profitability and growth prospect.

  • Successful transformation from a hardware manufacturing business to an as-a-service business model with 90% of recurring revenues and multiple paths to continue double-digit % growth of gross margin.
  • Market under-appreciates the value of the transformation and even a conservative valuation suggests triple-digit % upside. "
