If you only want the basics, its but adding channels cost money. I forget how much we pay, we ordered a package that came with a bunch of channels I wanted, I forget how much it cost.

I believe Philo is just a steaming app. We use Roku. We have YouTubeTv and Philo, between the two we get the channels we want.

I don't know about those ones but you can download Pluto for free and get live TV channels and movies to watch. It's not much and they got some pretty random weird low-budget movies but there are some good ones too. It's kind of hit-or-miss but it's free!!
