Spectrum TV is a good choice for basic TV viewing on a budget, especially if you bundle with home internet. Even better, you get to choose from four different MTV channels before add-ons. There’s a strong selection of shows about the Black experience, too, including Rasheeda Frost's Boss Moves and much more.

We also found shows from TV’s rich past, including I Love Lucy, Father Knows Best, Matlock, Doctor Who, and even Touched by an Angel.

You get all the Hallmark and Lifetime channels before add-on pricing, plus A&E and the up-and-coming INSP channel. You don’t get Fox News, MSNBC, HBO, or CNN either, and we didn’t happen upon any foreign-language news programming in our tests.Įntertainment and lifestyle: 2.5/5 Philo does better-a lot better-when it comes to stories, movies, and inspirational shows. There’s not even Late Night Tonight, and no 60 Minutes or PBS Newshour. News and politics: 0/5 While you can technically catch BBC America and BBC World News on Philo, there’s virtually none of the news or analysis you would expect from traditional TV.

There’s no Disney, Cartoon Network, or PBS, but we love that Philo makes it easy to access free programming from services including Crackle, Cheddar News, Gusto TV, and RetroCrush, the new station featuring classic anime hits. You get multiple channels from Discovery with the base package price, plus Animal Planet, Great American Family, Family Entertainment TV (FETV), three Nickelodeon channels, Story Television, and Science. If you want to catch every NFL game, you could even try the NFL Sunday Ticket premium channel from YouTube.įamily and education: 2/5 Where Philo is a poor choice for sports and news, it’s a great choice for families and kids.

You can catch some sports content on ESPN+ or get a decent variety on services like Fubo or Sling TV. Sports: 0/5 Like with local channels, Philo doesn’t offer any sports coverage. If you want this programming, we recommend checking out live TV streaming options YouTube TV and Hulu + Live TV or a traditional TV provider like your local cable company or satellite TV providers DISH or DIRECTV. Local: 0/5 Philo doesn’t offer any local channels, so that means no local news, no primetime favorites, no local sports, and no awards shows. But you won’t find sports, local channels, or news. If you love home renovation shows, feel-good movies, and reality TV, Philo has a channel lineup you’ll love.
