Can I upgrade Philo and get more streams?
No. Currently, there is no way to upgrade Philo and get more streams, even if you are willing to pay an additional fee. You’ll be limited to 3 devices at once. While it’s unfortunate that you can’t upgrade, 3 devices should cover most households.
If you need more flexibility, though, you can also log into most TV network websites and apps with TV Everywhere. This doesn’t use up a stream, so it’s a good option if you’re worried about hitting your streaming limit. Check out the full list of supported networks here.
