The expansion provides another way to watch Philo, the skinny cable channel bundle starting at $28 per month.

The Philo app is now available on LG smart TVs for the first time.

There’s a brand-new way to enjoy Philo and all the content it has to offer. Philo comes with nearly 20 of The Streamable’s top cable channels in its base package, and its plans start at just $28 per month. Now, customers of the service who watch on an LG-manufactured smart TV can enjoy their Philo subscription with ease, as the Philo app is now available on LG sets.

Key Details:

  • All LG smart TVs connected to the internet can now download and use the Philo app.
  • Philo comes with more than 90 channels altogether, and includes titles from AMC+.
  • The Streamable recommends using Philo to watch new episodes of “Yellowstone” and much more.

As of Wednesday, any LG smart TV with a fast enough internet connection can download and open the Philo app. Subscribers can watch all the channels found on Philo within the app, including A&E, BET, Discovery, Hallmark Channel, Lifetime, Nickelodeon, VH1, and many more.

It’s quite simple to find Philo on LG smart TVs. Just open the LG Content Store to search for the app, download it, and sign in with your credentials to start watching the 90+ free and paid channels available on Philo, not to mention the 75,000+ on-demand titles.

With the approach of Halloween, the launch of Philo on LG smart TVs takes on a decidedly spooky flavor. That’s because Philo subscribers get access to the AMC television network and AMC+, which means they can watch AMC’s exclusive Halloween event FearFest. With titles like “Halloween” and “Friday the 13th” as well as content from the horror streamer Shudder all to be found on Philo, a subscription is a great way to celebrate Spooky Season.

Once the Halloween hysteria ends, viewers will want to make sure they keep Philo to watch the long-anticipated return of the contemporary Western drama series “Yellowstone.” New episodes of the show will premiere on Paramount Network months before they arrive on Peacock, and are due to begin airing Nov. 10. If you want to catch Season 5, Part B of “Yellowstone” at the cheapest price available, Philo is The Streamable’s best recommendation for doing so.

Philo’s core channel package starts at $28 per month, with no hidden fees or long-term contracts. New subscribers also get a seven-day free trial to test the service, and now owners of LG smart TVs can download and use Philo with ease thanks to the launch of the Philo app in the LG Content Store.

Philo

Philo is a live TV streaming service designed for entertainment lovers, offering flexible ways to watch without the high price of traditional TV bundles. The service now features two paid plans — Essential and Bundle+ — alongside its existing free streaming offering, giving customers a range of options depending on how much live and premium content they want.

…

The Essential plan costs $25 per month and includes 70+ live TV channels focused on entertainment and lifestyle programming, such as AMC, HGTV, Hallmark Channel, Nickelodeon, and Food Network. Subscribers also get access to 120+ free streaming channels, more than 80,000 movies and shows on demand, and unlimited DVR with one-year storage. Essential also includes a 7-day free trial for new customers.

For viewers who want more premium content, Philo offers the Bundle+ plan for $33 per month (formerly the Philo Core plan). Bundle+ includes everything in Essential, plus ad-supported AMC+ and access to the HBO Max (Basic with Ads) app. Users can also access discovery+ content directly within the Philo app. While Bundle+ adds a full premium streaming bundle for just $8 more per month, it does not include a free trial.

The service is available on most major devices, including Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, smart TVs, mobile devices, and web browsers. In addition to its paid plans, Philo also offers a free ad-supported streaming experience, allowing users to explore content before deciding whether to upgrade to a live TV subscription.

While it doesn’t include local broadcast stations or sports networks like ESPN, FS1 or NBC Sports Network, Philo remains one of the most affordable live TV streaming options for entertainment-focused viewers. With a simple lineup, generous DVR storage, and a clear path from free streaming to live TV and premium bundles, Philo is an appealing choice for cord-cutters who want to keep costs down while still enjoying a wide range of popular programming.
