Philo Tv debuts 37 channel streaming package for $16 a month

Philo - Your favorite shows have a new home

A new "Sportless" streaming package. Attractive price and a pretty good selection of channels. If they had included Hallmark and UPtv I would be a customer, but its still a good option for many.

The base package for $16 has about 15 channels not currently offered by PS Vue. This could be a good supplement for PS Vue customers missing Viacom channels, A&E, History, Lifetime, etc. Philo's DVR concept is even similar to PS Vue's.

If they had Hallmark Channels, Id probably get that package.

Not a bad deal. It will have its niche. More of a Sling competitor than anything else

It needs TCM if they really want to be better accepted.

Someone in another group I am on, on Facebook brought up the good point that they were on a very limited income and while it does lack a few key channels, for that person, and I agree, it is a very attractive package and price.

Guess I am missing something. I'm not seeing it on a search to add it to Roku

Type in Philo. Should be there. You'll get 48 hours free trial.

Like that it has the discovery channels, love the Science Channel, only channel missing for me is USA Network.

Thanks I was looking last night from the roku and it wasn't coming up in the search. Thought my mom might like this to supplement her OTA only TiVo.

PS Vue just added them: PlayStation Vue Adds The Hallmark Channel, Hallmark Drama, & Hallmark Movies - Cord Cutters News

Still can't get this to show up on any of my rokus. Says can't install channel on the roku, tried adding it from the roku website but still not showing on roku after updating.

Maybe your Roku channel memory is full. Go through your channels, and remove any you never watch or that say they are abandoned. Then reboot, and try loading Philo again. I've had to do that in the past.

 

[osu1991]

I only have about a dozen

I have a Roku Ultra. I had Philo on it in less than 2 minutes. I just did it now.

 

[osu1991]

Both of mine here are roku sticks. One a 2015 model and one a 2016 model. In the middle of using it at the moment. Will try a factory wipe in a bit and see what happens.

 

[osu1991]

Deleting everything and starting over didn't help either. Still can't get it to show up. Guess I'll email roku and do without trying out Philo for now

 

[IcEWoLF]

Its a decent option, but only BBC World News.
I like the concept and the pricing, hopefully they add more channels like others mentioned like USA because I like to watch Raw and Smackdown Live.

Not all Rokus are supported. I know my 3500x stick is not, confirmed by customer service.
