Aereo Plans To Launch Chromecast Support On May 29th

Despite being in the middle of a battle to convince the Supreme Court that their service isn’t illegal, Aereo rolls on.

In case you’ve missed it: Aereo rents HDTV antennas to cordcutters for $8 a month to let them view and record live TV from their phones, tablets, and computers. The antenna stays at Aereo’s HQ, and all of the video data is piped to users across the Internet. Cable companies argue that because Aereo isn’t paying the retransmission fee that cable companies are required to pay, what Aereo is doing is illegal. They’ve dragged the matter into federal court twice now, and the courts ruled in Aereo’s favor both times; the Supreme Court is set to hear the case on April 22nd.

Following up on an informal pledge first made back in December, Aereo has just officially announced plans to support Chromecast by May 29th.

One catch: for now, at least, Aereo’s Chromecast support seems to be limited to Android. While Aereo does have an iOS app, there’s no mention of Chromecast support coming to it just yet.

Of course, this all depends on Aereo … you know, still being around by the end of May. According to Aereo investor Barry Diller, the company is more or less done for if the Supreme Court rules against them.

Aereo TV streaming service adding Chromecast support, starting May 29th

 aereo-devices

Aereo has received quite of attention thanks to its subscription-based model that essentially brings its users over-the-air-TV directly to the web, alongside added DVR functionality. Not all of the attention has been the good kind, though. As we speak Aereo is caught up in a legal battle to determine whether or not the service is actually legal, but Aereo isn’t letting that slow them down.

Today Aereo announced that it will be updating its Android app come May 29th, bringing Chromecast support to the mix! What this means is that you won’t just be able to watch Aereo content through your PC and Android devices, you’ll be able to stream it right back to the big screen as well.

This is a very welcome move for Chromecast users looking to cut the cord without having to revert to bunny ears, though it’s still important to note that Aereo’s service is in beta and is only available in select cities. For more details on Aereo’s plans for Chromecast or for a list of cities where its service is offered, you’ll want to head over to Aereo’s website.

How about it, anyone planning on jumping on Aereo’s $8 monthly service now that it is heading to the Chromecast? Let us know what you think in the comments below.
