A look at Philo

While I don't normally use a vMPVD service -- YouTube TV, Sling TV, Philo, etc. -- I will say that Philo is one of the best bargains of those types of services. But there's a catch.

If you want local channels, or if you want news channels, or if you want sports channels, then Philo isn't for you. But if those aren't needed -- especially if you have an antenna -- then Philo might be the service for you.

Late last year, Luke Bouma of Cord Cutters News did a video breakdown of Philo, and it's worth another look, if you are looking to lower your streaming costs and don't need those expensive channels that are part of the higher priced services.

My Streaming Life doesn't usually use a streaming cable service -- that's what a vMPD service really is -- but if I were to use one regularly, Philo would be a great choice.
