If you have ever thought about cutting the cord on your cable, join the club. Every month that I look at my cable bill I cringe. Services like Hulu Plus and the ABC and NBC mobile apps make the idea of going cable-less more attractive since they enable us to watch selected TV shows after they have aired. And now a new service called Aereo is coming to Metro Detroit on October 28th which will enable its customers to watch LIVE TV on laptops and mobile devices and save shows for later with a remote antenna and DVR for $8 a month.
“We’re thrilled to be launching in the Detroit metro area, the birthplace of Motown and the Motor City." says Aereo CEO and Founder Chet Kanojia. "Across the country, the message from consumers is clear: they want more choice and flexibility when it comes to how they watch television and they don’t want to be fenced into outdated and cumbersome technology. Aereo’s cloud-based antenna/DVR technology brings the old-fashioned antenna into the 21st Century, making television watching simple again.”
