The New York-based start-up Aereo continues its conquest of television airwaves in the United States, announcing three more regional debuts for September. In addition to a previously planned rollout to Chicago on September 13, Aereo will debut in Miami on September 2, the Houston metropolitan area on September 16, and the Dallas-Fort Worth region on September 23.
After launching in New York City in 2012, Aereo went live in Atlanta and Boston earlier in 2013, and will be available across the state of Utah starting August 19. With the newest additions, Aereo will be available in eight markets across the U.S. by the end of September, covering around 60 million people.
For $8 a month, Aereo offers a tiny antenna stored in one of its data centers that can grab local television broadcasts to watch live online. You can also use Aereo to record up to 20 hours of content on its DVR service for later viewing. Add an extra $4 a month and you can get a total of 60 hours of DVR recording time.
Aereo pushes ahead
There should be more markets to come before we get to the end of 2013. Aereo announced in January that it planned to expand its service to another 22 markets in the U.S. before the calendar turned over to 2014.
