We found Frndly a better and more economical choice for what we watch on TV. Frndly also has "Local" which offers us news that the way more expensive Philo does not. The reason why we cut the cord was to save money.Frndly does a better job of doing just that.
You folks really nailed it 👏👏👏👏👏👏 IMO these two services are worth every penny of their subscription price, IF you don't care about sports and locals channels, and they are both easily supplemented by services like Netflix, Hulu, HBO MAX, etc., while keeping your monthly costs low. A little research on these two services can save you a LOT of money and aggregation. In these times of high prices, these two services offer REAL VALUE for a reasonable price.
Completely agreed. They both serve a much needed role in the market, especially for those who don't need sports/locals & don't need a premium service - like you said. That's a big reason why we're proponents of using an OTA, if you can, so it doesn't force you into choosing a higher-priced service.
Nice video! I never watched any of the Viacom/ViacomCBS/Paramount networks. I only watched the Discovery networks, the Turner networks, and the Disney networks. When I can’t find something on live, I just go to their streaming services. I feel like with the push to streaming, live TV might fade away, and we’ll just have sports networks, local stations, and “news” networks.
Thanks! We think we're going to start to see more of that as time goes on. Beyond these two and Sling, live services will price themselves out at some point. You can cobble together your own bundle of a couple on-demand services and an OTA and you could save some decent money. We're already starting to see it some with the growth in free, ad-supported platforms.
One thing that I forgot to mention is that I wish Philo would update their guide so that when you search the guide for other channels and programs, what you are currently watching continues playing in the background like it does on other services. As it is when you pull-up the guide you exit the channel you are watching and if you want to continue watching it you have to re-select that channel from the guide. I don't remember whether the Frndly guide works the same way or not.
Thanks! Good video! I was wondering about the philo live tv. I finally cut the cable cord! Philo seems to have the channels I watch the most. I have my antenna for local tv plus the roku channel streams live also. Thanks again!
I understand, but for me it was a perfect transition from cable. I was spending 142 a month in cable. 25 in comparison is a steal but I get not for everyone
I have T-Mobile and Philo but keep them separate because I still have the original Philo plan for $16/month, as they have pledged to honor the cost even as their current plan has gone up in cost. My fear is that if I go through T-Mobile, they will pass the cost of future Philo costs increases to the customer. That’s what happened with T-Mobile’s free Netflix. When Netflix raises the cost, T-Mobile passed the increase to the customers. It’s no longer free but still a great deal.
Testing Frndly out now and so far not really impressed. Biggest issue is their program guide. There should be an option to start streaming as soon as you click on a channel. Having to click the channel then click watch is an extra unnecessary click. Another issue is when you go back from a live stream to the guide it does not hightlight the channel you were just watching. instead it highlights the channel at the top of the guide. Not sure why so many of the developers who create the apps for these streaming services have such a hard time making quality user friendly GUI/UX. Most likely I will be canceling my Frndly subscription before the 7 day trial ends.
@@FrugalRules I'll be saving 10. I pay $20 for Philo, and I'm switching to Frndly Classic. This makes me wonder just how long the channels I want have been on Frndly. I could have switched sooner. I knew about the app, but not about the wide selection. Frndly always did a great job of advertising Hallmark, but perhaps they didn't promote their other channels as prominently. That seems to be changing now, though. Anyway, I always loved everything about Philo except the dark, gloomy background. I'll expect something more pleasant from a service called "Frndly."
@@ryuhayabusa6776 Got ya. Depending on what channels they are, Frndly likely has had them for some time....at least the past ~ year or so. They do have a solid lineup, especially for the cost. The platform isn't the most robust, but you can't beat the price.
@@FrugalRules Indeed. I can't believe I'm leaving Philo. It's spent so long at the top of my Roku menu, which is where I keep cable replacements. :) Thought I'd always have it.
I'm looking forward to install my new TV antenna and couple it with Sling and either Frndly or Philo TV. I currently have RUclipsTV, and am slowly but surely lowering my TV expenses. :)
@@FrugalRules I tried with a new indoor antenna and I received only one broadcast channel, CBS. I realize I have to make adjustments to the location of the antenna and various other things to do with it, but I think no matter what I try the channels won't be as what I want them to be. Maybe in the near future I will readdress but as of now, I'll be happy streaming YTTV.
@@FrugalRules The reason I'm asking, because I have The "Disney bundle but it's through fios/w internet and the only live channels are 2 and it's news. Is this because it's through fios?
@@ElleMarieF23 It's possible. We're not aware of the deal through Fios. The Disney bundle, on it's own, does not have any live TV - aside from any potential sporting events you might get via ESPN+.
We cut the cable cord years ago. Our problem now is we don't have wifi in our portable home. Antenna TV worked great till my favorite Metv got dropped...uggh so pissed
For $6.99 you can add discovery plus with no commercials to frndly tv. Total cost is $16.15 for both. Get nearly all the same channels for $16 over philo. Better deal and no ads.
I really appreciate your channel and all the other cord cutter channels it was the reason why I bought the Amazon fire stick in Google Chrome Tv Chromecast with remote now I just have to add external storage to both of them I'm learning a lot but I'm going to take a break and just watch those ones with commercial plans streaming services I'm mad at Stars Network for taking that show American gods off of there then they got one season on there I hate when those streaming services pay all that money then they take their shows off of there on the bright side I just ordered from eBay for the first time last night I ordered all of HBO oz seasons used on DVD yeah I'm going to be hooked I also saw boardwalk empire on eBay and Dexter can't wait to clean my PS4 slim out so I can play it again though and watch blu-rays haven't used it since last November it stopped working but thank God for RUclips I found out it's probably dirty that's why I watch RUclips videos about it but cleaning PS4 slims you know the dirt and roaches getting electronics definitely does not want to make me buy a PS5 anytime soon I really enjoy your channel and the other channel so
Philo Tv has a lot of stuff I like they have all the family friendly stuff and they also have a lot of classic television which is just right for me I like the old westerns and things of this nature and they have just added some new channels again recently that gives us even more
@@FrugalRules Frndly also has old westerns and classic tv, for a much better price. I used to subscribe to Philo, but made the switch to Frndly months ago. I love it. Frndly with a basic Hulu subscription is wonderful alternative to Cable.
Frndly tv adds on demand of tv shows especially from A and E and The history Channel. 5000 tv shows on demand. Pawn stars has 600+ episodes. This video needs to be updated.
Not that sure if Frndly was available for Samsung Smart TVs at the time of this video, but I checked, and it is not available for it. According to their web site, the availability for these TVs are not included. But like I sad, this might have changed from the last time you made this video.
Yea, it's not available on Samsung unfortunately. We get it on ours via a Roku or Fire device, when we use it. They did just launch on Vizio, so there's hope they might do similar on Samsung in the future as well. 🙂
I'm willing to spend more for sports and business channels. RUclips TV is my favorite premium service. Still a lot better than cable or Dish in pricing.
@@Crawfish68 Got ya. Have you looked at AMC+ as an option? We've not tried the service, but *could* be an option. They have a free trail, and it's $6.99-$8.99 a month. Could be worth testing out to see if it works for you.
We have tried Sling, RUclips, Fubo, Frndly TV, and Philo TV. We would prefer the economy of Frndly TV or Philo TV. However, Frndly TV forces a time limit on contiguous viewing (we leave our TV on for our pet). There is annoying noises coming from Philo TV (we tried different remotes, cleared cache, uninstalled apps, checked internet speeds, and actually proved that we could identify that Philo broadcasts were the culprit (the same show on Fubo and You Tube TV were noise free unlike Philo). We notified Philo and they have escalated the ticket to their tech team. Hopefully, Frndly TV eliminates their time restriction or gives its customers the ability to bypass it if they have more than enough bandwidth.
We leave a small FM radio tune in to our local NPR station there is very pleasant talking occasionally and very pleasant classical music our doggie and our kitty cats seem to really like that they’ll get comfortable and it almost hypnotizes them so it seems lol in the springtime/summertime my dog will go out into the yard and lay down under the shade trees and let the birds sing him to sleep
We like Sling, and are currently with them. But, like Space Ghost said, they really only fit if you can deal with the smaller lineup & don't need many of the add-ons. If you don't, it's a solid service.
I choose friendly TV because I have RUclips TV but RUclips TV does not have lifetime or history and a&e so friendly TV to get them channels it's a very good service !
Right now the real enemy here is the price of high speed Internet that’s the real elephant in the room it’s ridiculously high,,,countries in Europe have a better Internet at a far cheaper price than we do,,,Internet is just far too high and there’s a monopoly on it there truly is that’s why there’s no price break. Pluto is a pretty good deal and lots of others if we could just afford the price of the Internet it’s outrageous
You're not really wrong there. So many markets have one legit option, nearly creating a monopoly. We're seeing it here in Omaha. Cox is the only true option, and Google is trying to bring in Fiber. Cox has fought it tooth and nail to try and keep them out. Thankfully, it looks like they lost out. It'll give us two good options, at the very least. That's merely the beginning of what we need to see.
@@FrugalRules Well around here it’s spectrum and they pretty much supply Internet to everybody in the Ohio Valley area,,, you can get it from someone else but you find out later it’s just Spectrum repackaged under a different name there really is a monopoly on it.
So I just tapped into philo… but idk how to stream it easy via my tv. It’s not listed on my smart tv . I had to cast it from my lap top. Is that how u would do it ??
Philo will not let me use a free trial from a previous account 3 years ago. Also philo makes it very hard to pay them! You can't pay philo thru their app only Tru roku which I refuse to do. Ridiculous! Frndly tv is extremely easy to pay them.
I just canceled the friendly TV subscription I got tired of the buffering on my downloaded shows I love watching Mama's family doing there and you can watch Golden girls on there I like it too much Golden girls on there without having Hulu but I hate all the bufferings on my downloaded contact and I hate the fact that some content people block downloading I mean some of the channels blocked downloading I guess they want you to watch the ad so they can make money I mean some of the channels blocked downloading DVR service TV shows I mean
I hope friendly's more expensive for when will up the DVR to 1 year if they knew I will resubscribe I want to miss watching my mama's family I unsubscribe to that I didn't like the buffering and I don't like how some content channels block you from DVR on recording on some of the channels
I cut my cable cord and never been happier I got the Roku and a antenna the antenna I get all the local major channels and local news and plus i get metv and circle channels on my antenna then I have Philo to get all the cable channels they have 70 channels now ,,, I never watched sports but I watch allot of music videos and music related shows .. Philo has channels I watch religiously all 3 Hallmarks , AMC , AxsTV and MTV Classics MTV Live … I started with Philo when they first came out it was $16 and because they I was the only ones that had AXS TV channel … it is worth the 25 $ if you are not a sports fan …I have plenty of TV It has never went down and if am watching a show or movie and need to stop and watch it later I can save it i also I have Netflix occasionally ( during Covid and winter time ) I would rather pay 25-35 $ ( with Netflix) then 200$
Which service do you think is better for streaming live TV?
IMO, DirecTv Stream has the best channel lineup, but RUclips tv is the best OVERALL live tv service.
Philo
Philo is hard to beat Pricewise or maybe Hulu or Netflix and a good TV antenna
