Beware the "Bonus" Philo app true cost!

I love this Insignia Fire TV, bought from Best Buy, that cost less than $200 with extended warranty and taxes! The picture is very good and the sound is fantastic. My only issue is with the "bonus/free" 1-month subscription to Philo TV, a great app. When I registered for the bonus, Philo was supposed to upgrade to a 3-month subscription at no charge. Of course, it did not. Then, I received notice on Dec. 18th, that I would have to cancel the subscription on Dec. 25th, CHRISTMAS DAY, in order to not be charged the regular Philo monthly fee. Best Buy online cannot even find my account number for me to cancel this subscription, on this big holiday weekend, and I didn't even get the full 30 days free! So much for great pricing...
Will gladly update this review if/when Best Buy or Philo straightens this out.

This service is average, but if your on a buget like me thats no big deal. You get some good channels but the ads for replay and on demand are awaful. Not only did the same ads run 50 times during the same show, some were also unwatchable!!!! the service was purchased in june and i forgot that it was lgbtqlastqa month. Some ads were so bad (boarder line rated R) that i had to close out the app because you can't skip or fast forward, and then the same ad would play from where you last left if you tried to rewatch. Oh, and this was all before 5pm and i had kids in the room. It got so bad, that i would not use the service and i had 10 days left. Maybe i just won't watch any tv during the month of june from now on...

Cheaper than cable

I purchased the subscription on a promotion after cutting the cord of 25 yrs. It was the cheapest and had most of the "channels" I watched when subscribed to cable. From what I recollect with cable i.e. BET channel I seemed to had more to watch . Now with streaming doesn't seem to have that variety of shows on the channel and it supposed to be live! I question the live stream...
I am paying 20 buck a month basically to watch 4-5 channels that I use to watch on cable.

After the whole rigmarole of trying to actually access the free trial it was smooth sailing. I love Philo because I can watch Tyler Perry’s Sisters & Everybody Loves Raymond! They also offer video on demand and a ton of channels!! The trial went by quickly but I enjoyed it, and now I am a Philo customer!!!

Quality of the pictures and videos are great !
Notices after someone pushes the doorbell is fast and quick to show who’s at my door.
The down side is I live on a city street and traffic picks up at certain hours of the day.
Even after you filter out vehicles, motion and other motion it still sends you notices of those 3 things. It also clears out those 3 blocked choices randomly without me knowing

Repetitive commercials

To many commercials for this price! The same one repeats multiple times. Live tv is awesome. Not user friendly in the beginning for me. Love having unlimited DVR. I currently use it to watch a few shows and occasional movie. It's the commercials for me and it hasn't been worth it yet. My daughter loves it though. That's why three stars. Having multiple profiles is a great feature. Love the connection with new firestick.

I love this service, there are only a few other channels I'd wish for to be Excellent! Great value!! I'm very pleased with what Philo offers to those who want to cut the cable cord, it's inexpensive with a great amount and selection of channels. Also easy to use.

I went in to make arrangements for a 55" screen TV swap out with a damaged one. This was arranged by Chris with the Geek Squad and approved by Stephan, SM. When I arrived to the store I as greeted by a gentleman ask ing he could help me. I explained the situation and he identified himself as Stephan. I told why I was there, he directed me to a line in Customer Service. I stood in line for only a couple of minutes and Stephan caught my attention and waived me over to him. He told one of his staff members to take care of whatever I needed and that I would explain it to him. EVERYTHING was handled promptly and he exchange will take place next week. One of the best experiences I have had.

the programming is excellent with something for everyone, there just is not enough time in the day to binge thru the shows. at one point, I needed to contact customer service and the rep resolved the issue ASAP. also answered the phone ASAP. no sports offerings & I don't have a problem with that because I don't agree with the pro-gambling stance of the leagues; I'm OK with OTA broadcast network offerings & don't feel the necessity to contribute to the vice of gambling. my wife was a cable programming diehard and no more, thanks to Philo, she is happy with the easy to use interface. all the good stuff at a happy price.

Philo has been one of the best purchases I've made in years!! I needed a TV service that would give me access to the channels that I wanted without having to pay for a bunch of channels I didn't care for and wouldn't use. Philo was perfect for my needs, it gave me the channels I really wanted that most TV providers bundle into a package that costs much more than I wanted to pay. Philo is priced beautifully under $22 per month and for the 2 years I've had it I haven't experienced any service outages.

Very good streaming system would of given it 5 stars if it allowed you to individually record programs from DVR instead of multiple programs from the same show....Besides that it has all the channels I need for only $20
