FilmOn, launched in 2009 in the UK and 2010 in the US, is a comprehensive internet-based television provider offering a rich mix of live television channels and an extensive video-on-demand (VOD) library. The platform grants access to more than 600 live channels, spanning news, sports, entertainment, lifestyle, documentaries, music, education, and niche cultural programming from around the globe . Users can access FilmOn for free with ads (AVOD), or opt for ad-free experiences and exclusive perks through premium subscription plans (SVOD, PPV).
FilmOn stands out by allowing users to record programs to its cloud DVR service, offering flexible recording packages like 3, 10, 50, or 90 hours—starting from as little as $1/month. The VOD catalog includes over 45,000 movies and TV episodes, while premium content and next-day Hollywood shows are also available via transactional or subscription models.
One unique feature is its user-generated channel creation tool, enabling individuals or brands to launch their own custom streaming channels. Additional offerings include original programming (e.g., "Almost Legal with Tommy Chong") and live events, which may be available via pay-per-view for around $4.95—like indie film premieres.
Operable across platforms including web, iOS, Android, Roku, Apple TV, Xbox, LG TV, and Windows devices, FilmOn ensures seamless access on various connected devices.
