According to Minneapolis St Paul Business Journal…

Aereo Inc., a high-flying startup that lets consumers stream broadcast-TV channels on computers and mobile devices, will enter the Twin Cities market this year.

The New York-based company uses tiny antennas to snag TV broadcasts and distribute programming to its subscribers’ laptops, iPads and Roku boxes. Aereo’s service also incorporates DVR-like features, allowing consumers to save programs for later viewing and pause during episodes.

Not surprisingly they add…

The broadcast TV industry isn’t a big fan of Aereo, and several stations have sued the company.

As a consumer I was happy to hear prices range from $1 a day to $80 per year. I had visions of watching BBC whenever I wanted. But of course they aren’t picking up a ton of cable programs. The mainstay seems to be broadcast channels. Looking at the Aereo website, these are the currently available channels:

• CBS
• NBC
• FOX
• ABC
• The CW
• PBS
• ION
• MyNetwork TV
• This TV
• Antenna TV
• Bounce TV
• ION Life
• NyNonstop
• NYC Life
• NYC Gov
• PBS Kids
• Qubo
• HSN
• HSN 2
• And several Spanish and Asian language channels
