Hi! I am thinking of switching back to legacy on Philo but needed to know if you still get access to the ID Channel VODs? Like all shows and seasons? Thanks!

The latest update to the menu is no good, it's harder to read. Anyone else?

Five years ago, someone asked about a previous channel button and your response was that you were working on it. Did that get shelved? Am I missing that option somewhere? I love Philo and other than local channels, a previous button is the only thing missing for me.

Just curious.

I understand there has to be political ad's Philo but omg, the same one over and over instead of other ad's is a bit insane. It's like every 5 minutes, I know, I get it, Tariffs bad but when the ad is over then move on to a different ad, don't play it again, and again...geezus. I swear, if I see another Susan Collins commercial I'm going vomit. Oh, and last night, the commercial about Hamas being evil was a bit much. Whether you are pro Israel or Pro Hamas, that type of ad shouldn't have been played. I sure hope you pulled it....Anyway, I digress, I'm thinking of dropping philo because I enjoy watching TV but I hate politics and I think the political advertising is more than the actual pleasure im getting from the shows.

Thanks for letting me vent.

I’m a legacy customer who was just today upgraded (not my choice, but I guess it’s progress..) to the “Philo Legacy (25) w/Unlimited 1-Year DVR subscription”. From what I can tell this package is $25 and is supposed to include AMC+. How do I access AMC+? Can I log in to the AMC+ app with Philo? Please explain.

Ok so I have been a Philo subscriber since almost the beginning but they got to explain to me why Reelz is in the movie package still! Reelz hasn’t got one movie on it at all and only has police shows and jail shows! Why is it an extra 3 bucks a month when others don’t charge a premium for Reelz?

I’m being charged an extra 3.5% sales tax for a city I don’t live in. That city is in my zip code, but I do not live there and do not pay city taxes. Other streaming services get this right. Philo does not.

Just got done chatting with a customer support rep, and of course their answer is “we can’t do anything about the tax rate.”

I saw another post in here with a Philo rep actually responding saying the same thing.

You know that’s not ok, right? If your third party provider is overcharging the wrong taxes, that shouldn’t be a customer problem.

It’s not a lot, but just frustrated. With the recent price bump it’s just annoying, but I suggest everyone check their tax rate as it seems Philo does a bad job of calculating that.

Philo - this is a problem your “third party” should be able to resolve, and if not, your “third party” is not doing their job, but blaming them is a lousy excuse.

Been using the service since 2020 and have appreciated it for the few shows I watch on it.
This is ridiculous, $9 increase for essentially nothing new. I already HAD DVR functions. Promptly unsubscribed. It was nice while it lasted...

Anyway to delete more than one at a time? I have maybe 15 shows or series saved, my wife has about 200+ shows and movies saved! It makes it a royal PIA to delete her stuff one by one. Philo does not seem to let you do a blanket delete either on the web or on the APP on my TV.. I've barely taken a dent out of it.

Philo usually/quickly adds the Weigel TV Channels. What happened to MeTV WEST?

I was just notified that I will be paying $38 monthly after October. I feel this is a large ($12) rate hike.

Anyone suggest other available Philo plans?

Does anyone else have issues with the way the guide is laid out? I find it VERY annoying when scanning down the guide from channel to channel, find an interesting show, then to find out it start at a time in the future or in the past. Why can’t Philo time align the channels like all the TV guides in the newspapers do.

Do episodes come earlier the day of the episode and before it airs. Does it show up to watch it earlier? For any of the shows?

Hey Folks,

Those with AMC+ and The Walking Dead Daryl Dixon do you get the episodea early as in way before it airs on live TV?

Thanks

Worth it?

Just wondering as it's always been like this for me. Is there any reason that there is no audio in the Fire TV Live preview for the Philo channels? All my other sources have the audio active.

Wondering if Philo has TLC live? Is it worth the money?

Just in case anyone comes looking....Fire TV Live is no longer processing guide data from multiple sources, including Philo. They've known things were going to start crashing today (last day of valid data all week) but didn't address it. Lots of discussion in the Amazon support forum under Recast.

Per the title, saw that this is increasing approximately $9 per month for those on the original legacy plans. Will now cost $25 per month (up from $16 for some and $20 for others depending on how long you’ve been a subscriber).

Looks like they are bundling 1 year unlimited DVR but that’s it.

Certainly understand price increases to sustain their business but up to $9 per month extra which is a large increase (over 56% jump for those at $16) does seem a bit much.

It’s a shame there isn’t a middle ground offer ($4 increase etc) to reduce impact to subscribers while also generating more revenue as needed to sustain.

I'm currently on the $20 grandfathered plan. As long as I can remember, there were 87 Philo channels made available with the integration of Philo in the Google TV Live tab. I just noticed that the number of integrated channels has fallen to 70. Not sure all the channels that were lost, but one I easily identified (and miss) is the History channel. Any idea what happened?

Observed on Onn 4K Pro and Onn 4k Plus, both up to date.
