\n\tWith so many TV shows and movies scattered across different streaming<\/a> services, it can be an expensive endeavor to keep up with them all.\u00a0Philo<\/a> is one of the best ways to watch live TV channels for cheaper, with plans starting at just $25 a month, but what some might not know is that the streamer also offers over 120 channels for free. <\/p>\n

\t\tWhat Are Philo FAST Channels? \t<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPhilo<\/p>\n

\n\tPhilo is a live TV streaming service similar to Hulu + Live TV and Sling, but Philo also offers FAST (Free Ad-Supported TV) channels as an alternative to its paid plans. With the FAST channels, no subscription is required \u2014 just open the app or visit the site<\/a> and start watching.<\/p>\n

\n\tYou can now use Philo FAST channels to watch top shows for free, like Breaking Bad (Seasons 1-5), Tyler Perry\u2019s Good Deeds, The Walking Dead, Nashville, Love After Lockup, Mad Men, Duck Dynasty, Dance Moms, Portlandia, America\u2019s Test Kitchen, and more. There\u2019s also a number of true crime channels, as well as reality TV shows, game shows, and a number of variety shows.<\/p>\n

\t\tHow Can You Stream Philo FAST Channels Free? \t<\/p>\n

\n\tYou\u2019ll be able to stream Philo\u2019s free, ad-supported channels on your smartphone, laptop, or TV on the Philo App<\/a> and be able to cast onto your TV through a streaming device like the Roku or Fire TV Stick. Some channels you can watch live, like you would with a conventional cable package, but there are also on-demand TV and movies available for streaming, too.<\/p>\n

\n\tYou don\u2019t need an account to jump in and start watching right away via the web and search on some streaming platforms. But if you do create a free account<\/a>, it unlocks added features and easy access on streaming devices and smart TVs. Take advantage of the \u201cbest kept secret in streaming\u201d by saving shows with unlimited DVR for free content<\/a> available for 30 days for most titles, with the ability to fast-forward through commercials. Want to rewatch your top programs? Favorite channels for quicker access and keep track of your watch history.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPhilo<\/p>\n

\n\tBonus: Philo<\/a> is one of the few services that offers DVR for their free channel lineup, and the only one that provides unlimited 30-day DVR at no cost, so you can record some of your favorite shows while you\u2019re busy at work and watch them on-demand and on your own time. (Note: Due to content rights, some channels\/shows may not be available for DVR.) Most cable packages these days don\u2019t include DVR, let alone unlimited recording.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhat we like:\u00a0with a free account, Philo FAST channels<\/a>\u00a0let you stream content on up to 10 user profiles at once, so you and your housemates, friends, or family members can share a subscription and watch separate programs at a time (no need to hog the screen or remote).<\/p>\n

\t\tPhilo Paid Packages\t<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile Philo\u2019s FAST offerings are great, their paid live TV streaming plans are even better \u2014\u00a0and much more affordable than the competition. Philo offers two subscription tiers: Essential and Bundle+. The Essential plan ($25\/month) delivers 70+ live TV channels, including popular networks like ID, HGTV, TLC, and AMC, as well as on-demand titles. The Bundle+ plan ($33\/month) gets you everything in Essential, plus HBO Max Basic with Ads, AMC+, and discovery+. The Essential plan comes with a seven-day free trial, but the Bundle+ plan does not.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, Rolling Stone may…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":617347,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[49,48,1639,75,5023,231962,5024,5131,231963,348],"class_list":["post-617346","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-deals","tag-entertainment","tag-noads","tag-philo","tag-rs-recommends","tag-streaming","tag-streaming-tv-movies","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/617346","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=617346"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/617346\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/617347"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=617346"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=617346"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=617346"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
