friendly TV is a live TV streaming service at a really great price all three plans include the
same 40 plus channels we've got a e Hallmark lifetime me TV Weather Channel and more the
Classic Plan is the one I recommend to most people unlimited Cloud TVR storage recording
saved for up to three months HD video and two streams at once all this for less than ten
dollars a month in today's video I'm back with an updated friendly TV review and I'm going to show
you some new features of the app keep watching I'm using a Roku for today's demonstration but
friendly TV has a number of supported devices for TVs computers and phones and this video is
going to be helpful if you use any of them got a lot to show you so let's get this app downloaded
and installed from the Roku home screen navigate to search and then type in Friendly TV and once
the app populates in search add the channel go to the channel and then sign in with your email and
your password the same email and password that you used to sign up on friendly TV's website
let's continue when you sign in for the first time and every time after that the friendly TV
live guide is going to show up first and that's what you see here at the top of the screen you
see movies TV and my recordings I'm going to talk about all that stuff later but as for the
live guide you see network logos and then two hours of programming on the screen at any given
time notice the word live and a line that goes right down the guide that indicates where you
would join a program in progress let me give you a closer look we'll use the game show Network's
Chain Reaction I click OK on my Roku remote and it doesn't take me directly to the show no
instead I've got these options watch live start over and record when I click OK again to watch
it live I'm taken to the show that's airing but what if you want to channel surf while watching
live TV well I've got a couple things to show you Arrow up twice on your Roku remote and that'll
reveal a mini guide along the top of your screen watch now I'm going to switch channels to me TV
now that me TV is playing let's say you want to go back in that case press down on your Roku remote
two times and then select last Channel I'm back on the Game Show Network and now when I press down
on my Roku remote a few times a menu is going to appear and it has a shortcut back to the main live
guide what you're seeing on the screen is what's airing right now as I'm recording this video but
friendly TV's guide actually lets you go back in time Arrow left on your remote and view the last
72 hours of content but look here in the bottom right corner of the guide you see some shortcuts
and to get back to the real-time live guide just select the instant replay key on your Roku remote
and then we're right back where we started let's say you want to preview content that's coming up
later on in that case you can arrow to the right but another option is to use those shortcuts
on the bottom of the screen click rewind on your remote for the previous day and then fast forward
for the next day and by the way friendly TV's guide lets you preview content up to 10 days in
advance now I like to preview what's coming up to set recordings right from the guide and here I've
selected Amy's killer cases first you'll click OK on record then choose to record a single episode
or all episodes and finally click ok to confirm when you set a recording you'll notice that it's
highlighted directly from the live guide with that little record box I've got that displayed
here with the show Family Feud now so far I've showed you the default view of the live guide
this is the one that I prefer because it lists some of the most popular networks right at the
top but you can actually change the order of the guide right from the settings click back on your
remote to jump to the top of the guide then Arrow up to the top of the screen and then to the right
to access the settings wheel from here you can switch the guide display to alphabetical if you
want to I've spent a lot of time showing you the live guide because that's really the home
base for a lot of people but there are also the on-demand section for movies and TV let's take a
look these sections are very similar I'll show you movies and you can see what's trending and
what's airing right now that is featured at the top of the screen right below that is continue
watching there you can pick up on programs that you haven't finished and not long ago friendly TV
added a way for you to remove programs from this continue watching list so I'm going to show you
that I'm going to click OK on a program and then you see that option to remove it on the far right
of the screen let's keep moving further down the movies section you're going to find other
recommendations for on-demand content including the ability to sort by Network there's also this
the 72 hour look back feature very useful if you forget to set a recording you can always find it
here but unfortunately no fast forwarding on 72-hour look back content that's why I always
add shows to my DVR if I want to forward through the commercials and speaking of that DVR the movie
section also highlights programs that are coming up soon so that you can set a recording in advance
I already mentioned the on-demand section for TV is very similar to movies so I'm not going to go
through that separately instead let's talk more about the DVR the my recording section shows new
recordings right at the top of the screen just click OK On Any recording watch and then it'll
play but unlike 72 hour look back content you can fast forward when programs are added to your DVR
as I'm showing you here this is an episode of Little House on the Prairie from Hallmark drama
aside from the just recorded section your DVR is organized by TV shows movies even documentaries
and at the bottom there's a row for scheduled recordings when you're recording a program with
multiple episodes like this example of Family Feud there are some more sorting options for you just
recorded newest episodes and oldest episodes and although you get unlimited DVR storage you may
want to de-clutter your DVR R so you can select OK on any program and instead of watching it select
delete recordings you can delete single episodes all episodes and cancel future recordings now
if you're searching for something specific it may be helpful to navigate to the magnifying glass in
the upper right corner of the screen and use the on-screen keyboard to search for whatever program
you're after and to the right of that magnifying glass is the settings wheel that I showed you
earlier when we switch the live guide order from the settings you can also turn on captioning and
adjust video quality and from a TV set friendly TV allows you to change your plan here but to
cancel you can't do that unless you sign in on friendly TV's website one-sided to Friendly TV's
website look for that settings wheel again and then cancel subscription after your cancellation
is confirmed you won't get a bill anymore but you will be able to stream until the end of
your billing cycle give this video a like if you found it helpful and I thank you for watching
