So ....who or what is AERO?

Over The Air (OTA) TV signals are free. But you can't legally retransmit them without permission. The cable companies pay the networks big bucks. This company Aero has decided to install thousands of mini antennas and rent them out to you. In addition, they let you record TV shows like a DVR and playback/pause/skip commercials just like every other DVR out there. You then stream your show over the net. Aero claims they are NOT rebroadcasting the OTA signal, since they have a unique antenna for every customer. A court challenge by the OTA broadcasters was immediately filed. But if this is deemed legal, for 8 bucks a month you can rent one of their antennas. Probably a great thing for sport fans of teams outside their local broadcast area. Imagine if I moved to Wisconsin.....no way I'd be wanting to miss Da Bears and watch the packers. YMMV on love or hate for Green Bay ofc.
