 The Future of TV, Reviewed Streaming services like Netflix and Hulu Plus have made major headway in satisfying the need to watch TV anytime, anywhere. But although they offer much of the same content, they haven't been able to fully replace standard TV. Instead, the search has begun for a service that will allow the modern television viewer's dream to become a reality. The kind that will allow him to take his television and crunch it onto his smartphone or tablet or laptop on the go, with no compromises. Oh, and cheap. It has to be cheap too. Enter Aereo, a rising New York-based startup that has earned the backing of billionaire media mogul Barry Diller and the ire of just about every major television broadcaster in America. When things like that happen to a company, it usually means that it's onto something. In Aereo's case, that something is housing thousands of tiny remote antennas that transmit broadcast TV signals back to a user's PC, Mac, iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple TV or Roku device. Because Aereo uses antennas, the courts say it doesn't have to pay any retransmission fees to those angry TV companies. And because it doesn't have to pay any fees, Aereo charges its subscribers as low as $8 per month to let them watch live, local over-the-air TV from their various devices. » Aereo Review: Functional, Modern, Incomplete
