The Philo live television streaming service launched on the Apple TV and Amazon Fire TV today, providing access to 40 channels for $16/month. The service was already available on Roku devices, iPhones, and web browsers.
“Our goal is to build a television service that people love. The expansion onto Amazon Fire TV and Apple TV is a natural extension for us and allows many new people to discover and enjoy Philo, as well as expanding the viewing options for our existing subscribers,” explained Andrew McCollum, Philo’s CEO. “We’re thrilled with the response we’ve seen to Philo so far, but we’re always looking for ways to make it even better, and this is another big step forward in that direction.”
Philo also announced that it has raised more than $40 million from existing investors with AMC Networks, Discovery and Viacom leading the company’s Series C round of funding. With this new round of funding, Philo will invest in product features/enhancements and expand marketing efforts to reach an even larger audience. The company is also developing additional innovations, including a socially-driven TV experience.
Philo includes:
● The ability to watch on up to three different devices at the same time;
● A seven-day free trial that you can start in seconds with just a phone number;
● The freedom to watch the way you want with an unlimited 30-day DVR, a deep on-demand library, pause any live channel, start programs from the beginning, and watch programs that have aired in the past three days;
● A streamlined interface, intelligent search, and the ability to easily send your favorite shows to others.
You can download Philo from the App Store for free.
