For all that is holy, please stop changing the look of philo

I forgot which one is run by Philo, so I'm posting this in both Philo sub reddits

Why take away the title of the episode till you click on the show? Makes absolutely no sense.

Please return the title of the episode to the guide, I swear this is just as bad as previous channel watched nonsense you've guys tried to make a thing numerous times

Does the Starz subscription include the Retroplex channel?

Online for the Starz subscription with Philo it doesn't mention movieplex, indieplex, or retroplex but I know it's normally apart of the Starz subscription on other platforms so is it included and they forgot to list it or is it not apart of it?

Married at First Sight Reunion

Where is that episode? It appears to be missing in the app. It aired last night and should have been in my recordings.

How often is the onscreen guide wrong?

Last night I was browsing the onscreen guide. On one of the garbage channels, I think it's called homemade or something, the guide showed that it was showing repeats of Sell This House, I think from the more recent reincarnation of the show. I clicked on - but found it was showing a tiny house show. I tried closing and reopening the app, etc., but still the onscreen guide bore no relation to what was showing on that channel.

I wasn't up for the gee-whiz fakery of the tiny house builders and their clients - sometimes it's hilarious but I just wasn't into it last night - so I found something else to watch on another app.

Was that a one-off or is the onscreen guide sometimes or often all wrong?

Unlimited DVR question

I'm a new Philo customer (for about 3 days) so please be gentle.

I love the unlimited DVR storing things for a year! But it makes me wonder. Let's say you record a movie. That movie will stay available for a year from the time you recorded it. But what happens if the movie happens to play multiple times? Does the retention start over each time or does it stay with the original retention span?

Can you guys stop changing the visual look of the app and just make the app work?

Channels never show the correct show and messes up my DVR as it says the show but it's completely different

For example psych is scheduled to air on Hallmark mystery on the weekdays, but if you actually go by what is scheduled it's murder she wrote

So, can you please guys stop making visual changes, that absolutely suck, and just try and make the app work?

Currently have YT TV but going all in on Philo, what do you guys do for standard broadcast channels?

Like the title says, I currently have YT TV but going all in on Philo, what do you guys do for standard broadcast channels?

Just curious what everyone does when they want to watch content that would be on CBS, NBC, FOX, ABC.

I have Walmart + and that comes w/ a some tier of Paramount + which allows you to stream a local CBS affiliate...I think

Peacock would give access to to a local NBC affiliate.

Local FOX and ABC affiliates...I'm not sure what the best solution is here.

New to Philo TV

Recently switched to Philo from Sling after 6 years. Don’t watch sports and FF through commercials has been troublesome for a while. And of course, to save some $$. But I have a few questions. Firstly, is there a way to record new shows only? Secondly, can you delete recordings after you’ve watched them, or do you just let them disappear after the 30 days?

Can’t watch on TV with iPhone - no chromecast

Just know if you use this service it doesn’t actually stream to TV like Netflix, Hulu, Max, YouTube, etc. Only if you have an android app/phone. Not iPhones. Way behind competitors and very annoying when enjoying a show on your phone and just want to stream to TV.

Love after lockup missing seasons 1-3

I’ve been watching love after lockup and when I went to continue this morning, seasons 1-3 were missing, as I was watching the first season last night. It’s been all day and I’m not sure that this is a bug anymore, is it missing for anyone else?

Latest Chromecast with Google TV update is awful.

I know the "Up Next" Screen has been discussed and how terrible and intrusive it is (PLEASE remove this Philo!), but I'm also having a new issue where scrolling through the channels in the guide is horribly slow. Anyone else experiencing this? I've tried clearing the cache. Looks like the app updated two days ago and that's when this started.

Anyone else have issue with Philo email communications?

Lost my T-Mobile $10/off promo because Philo claims they emailed me four times that my card couldn’t be charged (expiration date issue) yet my inbox is empty. Funny that I’ve gotten emails from Philo every single month since I joined years ago (and even emails egarding this same issue before) yet 2024 is the year they suddenly don’t make it to my inbox until it’s time to actually deactivate my account, wipe my saved recordings, and force me into paying full price.

Anyone else have this experience with Philo promising they emailed you multiple times and you having no record of this (when you have every other email they’ve ever sent)? Or just me?

Duplicate subbreddits

Question for the mods - why do we have this sub and r/Philo? Wouldn't it be easier to have one page instead of two to keep news and stuff like questions about issues on one page? Especially since this one is larger? The other one looks like it's managed by Philo itself so I'm sometimes not sure where to go for questions

Fast-Forward is too fast

This started happening a few days ago. For every second I'm fast-forwarding it moves the program I'm watching about 3 1/2 minutes. Much too fast to stop where I want. I'm not sure what's going on, but something has changed.

Did something change recently?

About a week or two ago we started getting an “Up Next” screen along with the fast forward/pause control superimposed over the last 5-10 seconds of the show.

It’s annoying as hell, especially if you want to see the very end of the show clearly.

This appears…

Why does this weather screen appear every once in a while during commercials breaks? Just got it on HGTV.

And, it’s in Spanish…I’m not subscribed to anything Spanish.

TIA

Suggestion For New Add-Ons

I've been a Philo subscriber for 2 to 3 years now. Honestly, I'm just not watching it as much as I used to. The navigation with the giant tiles is a real put-off for me. I keep hoping they will update it.

Now that we're in an election year, I'm really wishing that Philo would add one or two news channels. I know the importance of keeping the price down, so why not offer an add-on package like they do with their movie channel packages? Philo offers 3 separate movie channel add-on packages, ranging from $3 to $10 a month, why not a News channel add-on?! I wouldn't mind paying $5 to $10 a month more in order to get CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, or some combination of quality news channels.

I recently signed up for a trial of Sling and they offer all three of these channels. There's a good chance I'll be switching from Philo to Sling, at least to keep up with the election coverage over the next several months. Of course, I'll be paying twice as much (I'm currently grandfathered in with Philo at $20 bucks a month) but since I'm not watching much of Philo, what am I really saving?

Philo just needs to up its game with new channel choices other than all of the inferior freebie channels they've been adding recently. Just my opinion.

guide keeps changing size on Apple TV?

sometimes the guide changes to very large rows with nice pictures, other times it goes back to the normal size (still pretty big but I like that one too). is there a setting I can't find or is it just random?

How bad are the commercials with Philo?

I cut the cable 4 months ago, and have quite a few stream accounts (nothing full fledge 'live') But I see a lot of things are coming back straight to cable channels only, unless you have a cable-like streaming service.

My question is, how disgusting is the commercial time? Do they abuse it, or would it be like watching regular tv?
