Channel Request: Philo

Avatar

Are there any plans to add support for Philo?  Are there any technical reasons why it can't be supported?

The main reason I use PlayOn is to have access to the programming I want at the lowest price.  I currently use Spectrum TV Choice at a monthly cost of just under $30.  The service goes out multiple times per day and I seldom get a good recording.

I have been looking into Philo for a few months and it looks like it provides most of the channels I am looking for at just $16 per month.  The UI seems clean and straightforward.  It would be a great addition to PlayOn.

One thing that would help a lot of us more technical users would be some transparency and interaction with the developers.  I love the promise of PlayOn, but I understand it is a constant battle to adapt to ever changing websites.  Is there a way PlayOn could partner with software developers, like myself, to more easily add new channels?

    I haven't used Playon in months now.  This would certainly get me back into the fold.

    Philo appears to be one of the only streaming services that offers Discovery AND Discovery Go.

    I have been using PlayOn for over 10 years now.  Just downloaded the latest update that fixed my Hulu and Amazon Prime recordings.  Two streaming services that are working great are Fubo.tv and Philo.com.  Firestick supports both natively.  Please add both.

    I had great success with Directv Now but the cost got out of hand. I was paying as much as cable. Philo would be a great addition. Right now I don't Playon for anything.

    Has there been any word on if PlayOn is going to support Philo ?
    This seems like a perfect fit, lots of people are asking, but no one from PlayOn ever replies to these posts.

    I'm beginning to feel like PlayOn is not caring anymore... did I just waste my money buying into this service?

    +1! I will be dropping Directv Now this week after they announced dropping most channels that my family watches AND going up on the cost. He have decided on Philo and having it added to PlayOn would be amazing!

    +1 Philo has AMC and BBCAmerica and is less them my Spectrum TV Stream plan so I would love to switch, but I need PlayOn support. My experience with the AMC Channel in PlayOn is that is it unreliable (or AMC keeps making changes) so waiting for some news on this to change.

    New to PlayOn.  Was researching streaming services & stumbled across Philo.  It's a perfect match for what I am looking from both the cost & networks offered.  I was dismayed not to find this in the current channel line up for PlayOn.  I've noted requests going back a few years to add Philo.  .Hoping you working on adding this soon.

    "Yes on Philo. Definitely a good add. Also curious if these suggestions ever really get to the production/scheduling/review team at PlayOn..."

    This, please. Acknowledgement of the request at minimum.
