Philo (formerly Tivli) is an American Internet television company currently based in San Francisco, California, which was first launched at Harvard University in 2009. Investors in the company include HBO, Andrew McCollum and Mark Cuban. The company and its service are named in honor of one of the pioneering television engineers, Philo T. Farnsworth.

As of August 2020, their OTT streaming television service has approximately 750,000 subscribers.

The company was originally founded in 2009 as Tivli by then-Harvard seniors Nicholas Krasney and Tuan Ho. It started as an experiment using aluminum foil as a makeshift satellite dish to "capture TV signals and send them wirelessly to their laptops via a jerry-rigged server." At its launch, the project was intended as a way to get around the fact that Harvard did not offer cable TV services to its students. When the service was made available to others in 2011, half of Harvard residents signed up for it within the first few weeks of being offered.

In July 2013, the company raised a round of 6.3 million led by Patrick Chung from venture capital firm New Enterprise Associates. Series A investors included Mark Cuban of Radical Investments LP, HBO and Rho Ventures. In the same year the company was renamed Philo, from the previous name Tivli.

In June 2015, Philo raised 10 million in a Series B round led by New Enterprise Associates, with co-investments from HBO, Rho Ventures, Xfund, CBC New Media Group and Andrew McCollum. McCollum, one of Facebook's founders, became CEO of the company in 2014. As of September 2015, the service was available at 42 universities.

On November 14, 2017, Philo launched a new OTT streaming television service in the United States. The service is available via TVs, computers, tablets and phones. The service includes channels from A&E Networks, AMC Networks, Discovery and the older Viacom (now ViacomCBS) channels. Before this launch, these companies also became co-owners of the service with a joint investment of 25 million euros.

The service does not have local or sports channels. While Philo doesn't have any of the major news channels, the service offers BBC World News, which is distributed by AMC, and the financial news channel Cheddar.

In October 2018, Philo added Hallmark Channel and its sister channels Hallmark Movies & Mysteries and Hallmark Drama.

In February 2020, Google Fiber announced that it would only offer new customers options to sign up for streaming services. It supported YouTube TV and fuboTV at the time and added the 20-pack of Philo's 61 channel as an option. Adding Philo to Google Fiber's roster was described as a way to help the virtual MVPD continue its growth. At the time, Philo had 750,000 subscribers and the service said it had grown 300% over the year.

In June 2020, Philo added EPIX and STARZ as premium add-ons, making the on-demand library available for each service.
