Philo, a live TV streaming service, is available on Vizio smart TVs, starting January 31. This service offers a $25 monthly subscription with access to popular cable channels like MTV, Comedy Central, HGTV, and Discovery, making it a popular choice for cord-cutters.
Despite having fewer subscribers than some of its competitors, Philo has become a favored option for users looking to replace traditional cable TV subscriptions, especially for those who don’t mind using an antenna to receive free, over-the-air (OTA) local broadcasts.

While Philo offers a variety of live streaming channels, it does not include major broadcasters or their local affiliates. However, the integration of Philo with Vizio smart TVs enables users to access all of Philo’s features, including its library of on-demand content and the ability to save an unlimited number of shows to watch later.
Each Philo subscription allows users to create up to 10 profiles, offering customized recommendations for every member of the family. An added benefit is a seven-day free trial before any paid subscription begins.
This addition of the Vizio smart TV platform gives Philo an even stronger footing in terms of available supported devices, as it already integrates with Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Android TV, and Samsung smart TVs. It also offers web access and apps for Android, iOS, and iPadOS.
