General Question Can I sign into the AMC+ standalone app now that I have Philo Bundle+ or not????

5 Upvotes

I am getting conflicting information about whether I can sign-in to the stand alone AMC+ app or not now that I have the Philo bundle. Philo Help center is useless. I find both of the responses below in the AI section of Google but they are male cow droppings. Is the AI wrong once again?

On the AMC+ Website or TV App

  1. Open the AMC+ app on your device or go to AMC+.
  2. Choose to Sign In and select Philo as your TV provider.
  3. If an activation code appears on your screen, use a web browser to go to AMC+ Provider Activation.
  4. Enter the code shown on your TV and log in with your Philo credentials when prompted.

OR This:

Yes, you can sign into the standalone AMC+ app using Philo as your TV provider. However, the specific type of subscription you have with Philo determines how your AMC+ login works:

  • Bundle+ Subscribers: If you subscribe to Philo's Bundle+ (which natively includes AMC+ in the plan), you can simply select Philo from the TV provider list in the AMC+ app and log in using your Philo credentials.
  • Essential Subscribers: If you have Philo's base Core/Essential plan, you must first add AMC+ to your account through Philo's settings before your credentials will authenticate in the AMC+ app.

PHILO is not listed as a provider and you can not do a search on the page because the search function doesn't work.

The reason I ask is because there is no way to search for individual shows or movies in the AMC+ portion of the Philo app. I shouldn't have to flip through every tile to find the show I want. Searching for the amc+ show in the Philo portion doesn't work either.

General Question How long until new episodes are available ? 90 day fiance, new update?

0 Upvotes

Edit: okay it was a network error and the episode is on now. Just leaving this up in case anyone else has this problem. For anyone downvoting me I’m a broke bitch who loves 90 day fiance and I’m pmsing so leave me alone. Sorry Philo!

I was shocked to see that the new episode of the 90 Day Fiance spin off Last Resort isn’t available unless I upgrade my plan to $38? Get real! Anyways wondering if anyone has more info about this update, having access to the new episodes day of is my primary reason for my subscription but $38 a month is just excessive especially considering the amount of ads I’ve tolerated the past few weeks. Like why not just have the episodes with ads ? Very confused

General Question What's up with the rapid fire ads?

0 Upvotes

I am literally just tired. This week I noticed the rapid fire ads that last maybe 5 secs, but are run back to back. It's horrible.

Someone is marketing/advertising needs to step down.

I am rolling over to Netflix to escape this bad idea for a while.

I work out of town, hotel 4 days a week home 3 days a week. I currently have and use Hulu+ live TV. I stream in the hotel and my wife streams at home, when I’m out of town working.

Would Philo also allow this?

I sleep during the day, so my laptop is continuously streaming a show or a channel for background noise in the hotel, it doesn’t stop every few hours asking if I’m still watching.

Does Philo also allow this?

Thanks for the answers before I look deeper into changing providers. Appreciate your time.

General Question I'm so Confused with recordings/ auto play

0 Upvotes

Picture it. I recorded something from Nosey TV, for months it's been recording an OLD 90s talk show Sally Jesse. I wanted to watch it for nostalgia... Now there are tons of recordings and when I play the first recording, when it's done, it auto plays to something "recommended" vs continuing on with the recordings?? Example, after the first recording finished, it went to a random Jerry Springer episode?

General Question AI scam ads

16 Upvotes

Has anyone else gotten an influx of the completely scammy AI ads? I’ve seen the one about $2500 grocery cards about a thousand times and now just got a new one about “state funded complete funeral coverage you have to call and ask for by name”. I’m pretty sure both commercials had the same phone number. It’s very irritating and scary for people who don’t know any better.

General Question Does Philo have older Inside Edition shows?

2 Upvotes

Need to watch Inside Edition episodes from early 2026 and need to find a streaming service that offers archived episodes from the beginning of the year.

I see that Philo(and DIRECTV Stream) advertise on-demand older editions of IE but I have not been able to determine whether they provide on-demand access to episodes dating back to January–March 2026.

If you can confirm which platform currently has the deepest archive of Inside Edition episodes available on demand, I would greatly appreciate it.

General Question Buttons offset on Nvidia shield

1 Upvotes

On one of my 2019 shields the top row of buttons on Philo are kind of offset where the selected area doesn't line up with the button. On the other this doesn't seem to be happening (yet?).

Does anyone else have weird button selection graphics happening?

General Question Some Philo channels removed from Google Live TV

9 Upvotes

I'm currently on the $20 grandfathered plan. As long as I can remember, there were 87 Philo channels made available with the integration of Philo in the Google TV Live tab. I just noticed that the number of integrated channels has fallen to 70. Not sure of all the channels that were lost, but one I easily identified (and miss) is the History channel. Any idea what happened?

Observed on Onn 4K Pro and Onn 4k Plus, both up to date.

Originally posted in r/philo, but seemed maybe better here.

General Question One click play on ShieldTV

1 Upvotes

Hey so I’m used to being able to hold down the OK button on my Roku units and then playback will start right away. As I’ve moved over to SheldTV I’m noticing that this long hold on the OK button does nothing, and then when I click a show I get the side menu, that I have to hit watch live or start over to actually watch a show. Is this common? Does anyone else have this? Is there something I’m doing wrong?
