Philo is now more fully integrated into Google TV, including on the latest Chromecast. Subscribers will be able to access Philo content from the “For You” Tab and your subscription will be accessible from the Google TV “Live” Tab.

The new integration feature is available immediately and is being rolled out to Philo subscribers on the Google TV platform over the next few days. Philo joins Sling TV and YouTube TV, as the only supported Live TV Streaming Services available on the “Live” Tab on the platform.

If you haven’t tried it before, Philo is available for $25 a month, after a 7-Day Free Trial. It includes 60+ channels including those from A+E, Discovery, ViacomCBS, and Hallmark. You get an Unlimited DVR, three simultaneous streams, and user profiles.

  • Have an active Philo subscription and an active Google TV device
  • Link your Philo account to your Google TV account. Do this by using your Google Home app on your smartphone or tablet.
