How To Watch Philo On LG TV

Are you a Philo subscriber eager to watch your favorite shows on your LG TV? While a dedicated Philo app may not be available on LG TVs, there are alternative methods to enjoy Philo content on your device. In this guide, we’ll explore three effective options to watch Philo on LG TV. Also one can refer to our YouTube video for more clarification.

Air Play from iOS Devices

Step 1: Confirm LG TV Supports AirPlay

Before you begin, make sure that your LG TV supports AirPlay. Not all LG TVs have this feature, so you’ll want to check your TV’s specifications or manual. You can usually find this information on the LG website by searching for your TV model. AirPlay is supported on LG TVs with WebOS 4.0 or newer.

Step 2: Connect to the Same Wi-Fi Network

For AirPlay to work, your iPhone, iPad, or MacBook needs to be connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your LG TV. This ensures they can communicate with each other over the local network.

Step 3: Open the Philo App

On your iOS device (iPhone or iPad), locate the Philo app. If you don’t have it installed, you can download it from the App Store. The Philo app is used to stream your desired content to the LG TV.

Step 4: Start Playing Content

Once you have the Philo app open, navigate to the content you want to watch. This could be a live TV channel, a recorded show, or an on-demand movie. Start playing the content as you normally would.

Step 5: Select Your LG TV

In the list of available devices, you should see your LG TV listed if it’s turned on and connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your iOS device. Tap on your LG TV’s name to select it.

After Selection

Once you’ve selected your LG TV, AirPlay will establish a connection between your iOS device and the TV. You should now see your Philo content playing on the LG TV screen. This includes both video and audio, effectively mirroring what’s on your iOS device to the larger screen of the TV.

That’s it! You’re now streaming Philo content. You can control playback from your iOS device, including pausing, adjusting volume, or selecting different content to play.

Use LG TV Browser

Step 1: Turn on LG TV and Access Internet Browser

First, make sure your LG TV is powered on. Using your remote, navigate to the internet browser application on your LG TV. This application might be named “Internet Browser,” “Web Browser,” or something similar, depending on your TV model.

Step 2: Enter “philo.com” into the URL Bar

Once you have the internet browser open on your LG TV, you’ll see an address bar at the top of the screen where you can enter web addresses. Here’s how to enter the Philo website:

• Using your remote, navigate to the address bar.
• Use the on-screen keyboard to enter “philo.com” (without the quotation marks).
• Once you’ve typed in the address, you might need to press “Enter” or a similar button on your remote to navigate to the Philo website.

Step 3: Log In to Your Philo Account

If you already have a Philo account, you might be prompted to log in. Here’s what to do:

• Navigate the cursor or use the remote to click on the login or sign-in option on the Philo website.
• Enter your Philo account credentials, including your username/email and password.
• Use the on-screen keyboard or remote to input the required information.
• After entering your login details, navigate to the “Sign In” button and select it to log in to your Philo account.

Step 4: Browse Available Channels and Select Content

Once you are logged in to your Philo account on the LG TV browser, you can browse through the available channels and content:

• Explore the Philo website using the on-screen cursor or your remote.
• You can navigate through menus, browse different categories of shows, or search for specific titles using the search bar (if available).
• When you find the content you want to watch, select it by clicking on the show, movie, or channel icon.

Step 5: Watching Philo Content

• After selecting a show or channel, the Philo website will typically load the video player.
• The video player will start streaming the selected content directly on your LG TV screen.
• You can usually control playback using the on-screen controls provided by the Philo video player.
• This includes options to play/pause, adjust volume, go fullscreen, and sometimes rewind or fast forward.

Mirroring from Windows Laptop

Step 2: Ensure Compatibility

Make sure your Windows laptop and LG TV are compatible with screen mirroring. Your laptop should have built-in support for Miracast or a wireless display feature. Most modern Windows laptops support this, but older models might not.

• In the left sidebar, select Display.

Step 5: Connect to Wireless Display

Now, you’ll look for the option to connect to a wireless display or project your screen:

• Look for an option like “Connect to a wireless display” or “Project to a second screen.”
• Click on this option to start searching for available devices.

Step 6: Choose Your LG TV

Your Windows laptop will now search for available wireless display devices, including your LG TV:

• Wait for a moment while your laptop searches for devices.
• Your LG TV should appear in the list of available devices.
• Select your LG TV from the list to establish the connection.

Step 7: Screen Mirroring Activated

Once you select your LG TV, your Windows laptop screen should now mirror on the TV:

• Your LG TV will display an alert or notification asking if you want to allow the connection. Confirm the connection on your TV.
• After confirmation, your Windows laptop screen will appear on your LG TV.
• You should see everything from your laptop screen, including the desktop, open windows, and any applications.

Step 8: Launch Philo Website or App

Now that your laptop screen is mirrored to your LG TV, you can open the Philo website or app to start streaming:

• Use your laptop as you normally would to navigate to the Philo website (philo.com) or open the Philo app.
• Choose the content you want to watch, whether it’s live TV, on-demand shows, or movies.
• The content will play on your laptop and simultaneously mirror to your LG TV screen.

That’s it! Your Philo content will be mirrored and displayed on your LG TV. If you encounter any issues, double-check your settings, ensure both devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network, and refer to your laptop’s user manual for specific instructions on screen mirroring.
