Philo on your Roku

Want to cut the cord but don't want to miss out on any of your favorite channels? Philo might be the streaming service for you. Philo, like similar services such as Sling, offer you popular channels for a monthly fee. You'll get AMC, A&E, BET, Comedy Central, Discovery, HGTV, Food Network, MTV, Nickelodeon, Viceland, VH1, and access to more than 50+ channels for just $20 per month after a free seven-day trial.

In addition to its ease of use and robust channel lineup, Philo brings some other goodies many should like, including three simultaneous streams, unlimited 30-day DVR along with an extensive on-demand library. These features are pretty on par with what other services deliver.

Unfortunately, if you're a fan of local news or sports, Philo doesn't offer any popular channels from Regional Sports Networks (RSNs), ESPN, and NBC or Fox Sports affiliates. Philo's void in sports allows it to be more affordable, which is a great benefit to those who can care less about sports. You can still get quality programming at a reasonable price.

Best of all, you can get it all on your Roku. It doesn't matter which model you have — all are supported.
