| HOW TO WATCH PHILO | |
| PHILO | FREE TRIAL |
Philo is the best live TV streaming service you (probably) haven’t heard of. At the very least, it’s the cheapest—and the Philo channels are worth a closer look.
With Philo, you get 59 channels of live TV for just $20 per month. And these aren’t throwaway channels, either. We’re talking about MTV, Comedy Central, AMC, and the Food Network, among others. You won’t be able to watch local channels—for that you might want to invest in an HD antenna—and you’ll have a hard time streaming football or other sports, but you’ll have no shortage of entertainment options.
Here’s everything you can look forward to with Philo.
Philo channels: $20 per month
Philo is the cheapest way to watch AMC online, which is helpful if you’re looking to upgrade to the ad-free AMC Premiere. There are some other surprising cable favorites to be found too, including Comedy Central, MTV, IFC, and VH1. Philo used to offer a $4 add-on package that tacked on an additional 12 channels, but Philo has since consolidated all of its offerings into one compelling package.
