How to Record Upcoming Future Shows on Philo

Philo is an amazing streaming service, thanks to the many perks it brings to the table. With the standard subscription fee, you get the DVR option, which you can use to record an unlimited number of shows and watch them in the next 30 days.

You can also record completely new, upcoming future shows as well as upcoming reruns of your old favorites. That’s relatively easy to do, but many people still aren’t aware of this option. Therefore, here’s a step-by-step guide for everyone who wants to record upcoming shows on Philo.

How to Record Upcoming Shows on Philo

Philo is easy to use because it’s intuitive and seamless. You can set long-expected upcoming future shows to record automatically using this streaming platform. It is relatively easy, follow these steps:

Log into your Philo account on any compatible device.
Select the Search option, and find the upcoming show you’d like to record.
Select the show. You can also view the Schedule of the upcoming content for the said show (two weeks in advance).
Choose Record New to record every upcoming future episode. You can also choose to Record All, which will also record upcoming reruns of the show.
You’ll know that episode is set to record when it has a red record sign next to it.

That’s it. As soon as the new episodes of the show in question air on Philo, they will be automatically recorded. You have 30 days to watch the recorded episodes before Philo deletes them permanently. Unfortunately, this process is automatic and irreversible.

Still, you get a free DVR option with unlimited storage. Most other streaming services would charge extra for this feature.

You Decide When to Watch

Philo’s DVR option lets you watch your favorite shows at your own pace, and without ads. There are commercials, but you can skip them. Considering that this option is available to all Philo subscribers, without extra fees, it makes it even better.

Right, you have 30 days to watch the new episodes you recorded, but you can watch at least one full season of a show in a month, no matter how busy you are. Shows usually have ten episodes per season, which translates to as much as ten hours of content.

Backup Plan

People are forgetful, and you may forget to record the upcoming show episodes. Don’t worry because you still have a chance to watch them. There is the rewind option that lets you watch anything that aired in the past three days.

So, if you failed to record the new episodes, make sure to watch them within three days using rewind on the channel where they aired. You can also rewind, fast-forward, or pause whenever you please.

Of course, all of those options are available for recorded and on-demand content.

More About Philo

Philo has decent playback quality, and all of the mentioned options work smoothly. A glitch can happen here and there, but that shouldn’t interfere with your watching experience. You can stream Philo on up to three devices at the same time, which is great.

It allows you to share your account with your family and friends, and if you share the bill, Philo is laughably cheap. Besides having a compatible device (Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, iOS or Android devices, Android TV, Chromecast, Roku, or any computer with a web browser), you also need fast internet.

Even though Philo suggests a broadband connection of 5 Mbit/sec, in our opinion, that is not enough. Get at least 10, if not 20 Mbit/sec, and you’ll be all set. If you are streaming on multiple devices at the same time, you should either use separate networks or even upgrade to a 50+ Mbit/sec internet package to prevent interruptions and choppy streaming.

Enjoy Your Favorite Shows on Philo

Not too many people are using Philo, which possibly explains its low subscription price. This service has over 50 great channels, allows you to skip ads, and record as much content as you please. Despite having only 30 days to watch the recorded content, it is still a great deal.
