Without logging in there was some deal for new customers. So thought I should just login.
And logged in, and I got the legacy plan for $25 a month.
Comedy Central, Discovery, and History. And only one bill. That goes to people that aren’t complete dicks.
Also, all my saved shows are still saved, so should start recording shit again.
DirecTV seemed to say, once it’s cancelled, you’d have to re add the shows as well, if you happen to sign back up.
Also, my prepaid card worked just fine.
Don’t care about recording it to my local drive. They have a DVR. I can stream it to Kodi, using LibreWolf, and OBS, and a rtmp server. And you can probably do it without OBS as well. Maybe with just ffmpeg.
Could record with Channels DVR, but not paying for that. Not sure I want to automate anything to use a browser to record. Don’t want to get banned as well. Not sure they would. But it would be my fault if I did. cc4c might even work with Philo, without modifying it. Not sure I care enough to try though.
As if it doesn’t work, or stops working, I won’t mess with it again. Might just be a waste of time.
I assume it renews for that price as well.
Also, the only reason to get their $33 plan, is if you want HBO Max and AMC+, unless Discovery+ has something not on the Discovery channel, or on HBO Max. All I watch, I was getting on Philo before.
Instead of paying a dick, that won’t let me easily use the browser I want to watch it, I’ll pay these guys instead. Changing the user agent isn’t hard, but now I don’t need the damn extension. Too lazy to change it for everything. And also, people using LibreWolf, probably don’t want to do that anyways.
Makes their tracking work better, if we all have an almost identical ID. But you got to use Tor Browser, or Mullvad, for the best anti tracking BS.
Both probably work without connecting to Tor, or a VPN. But I’m incredibly lazy.
Also, you probably don’t want any extensions, in it, other then what it comes with.
So maybe just use those browsers, for most stuff. Like the tracking shit.
Pain to login to sites though. Well, I use Linux, so I could find a solution, or make my own, without copying and pasting. Just basically need a system tray icon for the password manager, that lets me do everything from it.
Need to check Mythtv to see what it was recording from DirecTV. Make sure it’s all on Philo. No idea if I even added any new shows to record either since I signed up for DirecTV.
Make sure you try signing up for Frndly TV before cancelling Philo though. Cause if you use the wrong type of card, good luck.
