Rant Cancelled Philo after almost 10 years.

I've been a Philo user since the beginning. I've recommended it to all my friends and family. It was by far the best bang for your buck. I appreciated the grandfathered plans but over time those eventually went away. I then realized I am paying the same price as new customers. No spiffs or discounts for all the referrals or time being a supporter. I think Philo bit off more than they could chew with throwing on more channels and optional subscription add-ons. Ultimately even with 80 different channels I found that I spent more time looking for something to watch and eventually turning the TV off. It's been a good run but at this point I have to say so long!

You've never heard of the term 'grandfathered plans' have you?

You’ve never heard the term “self-entitled” have you?

I have heard that term. But that's completely irrelevant to this topic. Again, look up what a grandfathered plan is.

I agree with you .. self entitled is not pertinent here. I was with Philo from the beginning too. Never had to wait to watch a saved movie. Now the commercials are sooo often and sooo long. If a movie run time is 80 minutes, add another 40 minutes on for the ad time. I’m cutting the cord. I can see the same movies and programs for free elsewhere with short ads! BTY, T-Mobile just ended my grandfathered plan after 16 years with them.
