The Philo Streaming App Is Available on LG Smart TVs for the First Time

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.
