Because OTA reception isn't what it used to be. |

Either lazy people who dont want to get an antenna.
OR
People who want to watch OTA on their cell phones as phone manufactures refused to put in HDTV tuners in cell phones and are too lazy to buy a protable HDTV.
You can buy a portable HDTV for less than 1 year of this service.
OR
You ride in subways for very long periods of time and want to watch TV and the subway has internet on its trains.
OR
You buy the service with a fake or friends address so you can watch OTA tv anywhere in the world as you travel.
Those are the only people I see who will use this service.

Or certain people who want to get local channels from out-of-market areas. With Aereo, all it theoretically takes is a credit card with a billing zip code in the town you want to buy local channel access to.
Or certain people (like myself) who live far enough out of the major populated areas around DC that reception with an indoor antenna is terrible. Once this goes live down here, I'll likely add my name to the list of cord cutters.

A sane approach to our federal budget: NO tax increases / 15% cuts across-the-board / defunding of all ObamaCare-enacted programs. |
