I switched to PHILO because it seemed to have a really good channel lineup and you certainly can't beat the price of $25 a month. The only downside to Philo is it's not really live TV and as such there's no skipping commercials.

The reason I say it's not live TV is if you're watching a channel and commercial start you hit the back button and pick a different channel so you can avoid the commercials I've come back to the original channel that I left days later and it starts right back up where I left at the start of the commercials. That's not live TV and that's probably why Philo is so cheap because the people who advertise on follow know you can't avoid their commercials. If saving money is your number one priority go with Philo if quality is your number one priority and you don't mind spending a little more go with the other ones like Hulu or YouTube TV or something like that

For $20 a month with unlimited DVR it can`t be beat if you have an antenna and can watch sports on broadcast TV. Never a problem with streaming and has AHC, History, Science, Travel, HGTV, A&E, AMC, DIY, etc. Misses are Sci Fi and some business channels. Worth a look if your needs are met with such a service and for the buck a great deal.
