What Philo actually is
Philo dropped sports and local stations on purpose, and that single decision is why it costs $25 a month while the rest of the market sits near $90. What you keep is the part of cable most households actually leave on: lifestyle, reality, documentary and classic entertainment channels.
The apps are plain but stable, the guide loads quickly on cheap hardware, and the unlimited DVR keeps recordings for a full year — a spec normally reserved for services three times the price.
