Thank you for this! I recently switched from Directv stream to KZitem TV. I added Frndly to supplement some of the channels lost from the change. Still saving money compared to Directv stream.

This is the most informative of the Frndly videos I have seen. Thanks! Also: Frndly's interface is much cleaner and easier to use IMHO, than the free streaming services and even some of the PAID ones (Sling's interface, for example, looks like they paid someone $11.52 to write it).

Now that I've got the roommate weaned from TCM, this might be useful.. we had DirecTV but it got plain too expensive once the promotion ran out. KZitemTV was an option, but you couldn't delete a DVR item, and it mismarked whether it was watched or not, frequently. I'd like the option to hide channels, we don't watch Hallmark channel anything.. it's the same plot, same actors, mostly lovey dovey Christmas. I like channel guide like on cable better than tiles BTW.

Great video as usual. One thing that you did and I am confused about you said if you click on the button, you can click just new recordings. But the button you click on said new and repeat episodes. So my question is, can you just record new episodes or not?

We were going to add Frndly (8.99 plan) for The Outdoor Channel and Sportsman Channel. Then, I found Freecast with their Value pkg at 6.99. It takes more clicks to find the channel and maximize it to the screen, but it’s working fine for now. Do you know of any other inexpensive ways to watch these channels with a good user experience?

One other thing besides the fact that you can get the same channels on an antenna. Is that you can also get a lot of the same programs for free on Pluto TV. Some of them on demand. Like I am binging Green acres right now. And Pluto TV also has channels dedicated to different shows that you can watch for free also. So depending on what you watch you don’t need to pay $8.99 a month for frndly.

@Shackdaddy and one channel I watch on Pluto has been playing the same season for the last year looped over and over, and none of the other seasons.. and no.. where I live an antenna can't pick up jack shit.. I'm on the middle of nowhere.. PBS and CBS get boring and we don't watch FOX, we're Democrats with brains. There's like two other boring subchannels.. I'm at least 45 miles from Iowa city and Cedar Rapids, 60 from Waterloo and too far to pick up Des Moines, our antennas can't see 7 at all, and can't find 9 anymore.. not everyone fits your demographic.. some HAVE to use streaming if they can't get good reception and there's little to keep them entertained; the ad-naseum looped Pluto is not a fix.

Some good features there but here and as in any other very inexpensive apps and services all you get are old shows and a lot of less desirable channels.

The main reason Frndly and Philo don’t carry sports, news and local channels is because they charge carriage fees that have to be passed on to consumers. If you don’t like curated TV and you’re looking for the full cable experience, Sling, KZitem TV, Hulu Live snd DirecTV Stream are what you’re looking for but they’re going to be as expensive as cable/satellite! So why are you cutting the cord?
