You can save and record content that’s currently airing or scheduled to air on Philo (with the exception of a few free channels) with just a click of a button—we call this our DVR feature.
Unlike a traditional DVR, the Philo DVR is entirely virtual. Your recordings are stored within your Philo account, not on a physical device in your home. You don’t need any additional equipment!
Once you save content, the next time (and every time from then on) that movie, or an episode of that show airs, it will be recorded. This means that you’ll be able to fast forward through ad breaks! Learn more about how our fast forward feature works (Link opens in a new tab)here.
With an (Link opens in a new tab)Essential or (Link opens in a new tab)Bundle+ subscription, you get unlimited DVR storage included at no extra cost, and your recordings are saved for a full year.
With our (Link opens in a new tab)Free Channels experience, you can record and save select content for 30 days.
