Aereo’s members will have access to all of the major networks including CBS, NBC, FOX, ABC, CW and PBS, as well as other local channels and will have the ability to store up to 40 hours of programming through their Remote DVR.

With an Aereo membership, you also get a remote, cloud-based DVR to set and watch recordings. To use Aereo all you need is a standard Web browser or a compatible internet-enabled mobile device, no new boxes or cables required.

Aereo members are assigned a miniaturized, private, remote antenna and DVR. Aereo offers technology to give consumers access to their antenna and DVR via a web browser and supported internet-enabled device. Once you’ve connected to your antenna, you can use the Aereo platform to access all major broadcast networks live in HD and use your remote DVR to set recordings and watch your favorite shows when you want.

Aereo’s technology offers a high quality, high definition television experience to the consumer and it includes the Internet portability that has become so essential to our lives.
