Been a customer for years. Started with a T-Mobile discount code and have never left. Price has went up here and there but not much. Still way cheaper than the competition. There's another price increase coming but they are also now including HBO and Discovery so I'm not complaining. We switched from Roku TVs to Fire TVs and have had no issues. I recommend Philo to everyone. They have so much to choose from and I love how much I'm able to record to watch at later times.

I'm not understanding how we're asked to pay 25 dollars a month, and there's still so many ads. And the ads are almost 3 mins long! Plus there's no rewind button, you just have to guess how long ago you want to rewind it, and there's no skip ahead button to fast forward the parts I already seen. I just wanted to watch JSFV season 6&7 and this is the only place to watch it. So pleeease either lower your monthly cost or get rid of there being soooo many ads!!!

Hi there! Ad breaks are predetermined by the network's schedule which we don't have control over, however, your subscription includes an unlimited DVR feature so you can fast-forward through them. To learn more about how to rewind/fast-forward on Philo, please visit: help.philo.com/using-philo/fast-forward 💙️

Love the show options! That's why I didn't rate it 1 star. The excessive ads are making me want to cancel. It has gotten worse too. A 45 minute show is 2 hours long because of ads! That's beyond ridiculous!! I literally watched 3 minutes of the show and then had over 5 minutes of ads. This is my most expensive streaming service and my other ones are without ads. For this much it should be no ads and make a cheaper option with ads. As soon as I'm done with this show, I'm canceling!!

Hi Nicole, Philo actually has the same advertisement load as any other TV provider. Ad break lengths are predefined – we do not insert additional advertising into the programming beyond what is defined by the network's schedule. However, you can fast-forward through anything you save to your DVR :)
