Aereo will officially launch in Detroit on October 28, 2013.
Consumers in nine counties in The Great Lakes State will now be able to access free over-the-air television channels with a cloud-based PVR via supported devices, including Android, which was just announced last week.
“We’re thrilled to be launching in the Detroit metro area, the birthplace of Motown and the Motor City,” said Aereo CEO and Founder Chet Kanojia in a statement.
“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they want more choice and flexibility when it comes to how they watch television and they don’t want to be fenced into outdated and cumbersome technology.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.”
Aereo offers an intuitive user interface and a simple pricing structure, providing new consumers with a free first month of membership that includes full functionality.
