You can record the shows using your Cloud DVR account. And Philo currently has Season 5 on demand. You’ll be able to activate the A&E app with your Philo account to watch Season 5 on the A&E app. But I prefer Philo’s on-demand library.

Philo also has AMC, Animal Planet, Comedy Central, Viceland and Sundance TV as part of its channel bundle.

I’ve been subscribing to Philo for more than a year now, and I’ve been very happy with the picture quality and channel selection. You can read my review of Philo, or sign up for a free 7-day trial. Unlike cable TV, there is no obligation to keep the service. Just cancel online if you don’t like the service.
