How exactly does Aereo work? You rent an antenna from them, they record the show for you, and you can play it back at a later time?

- mason55 12y agoYou can view OTA content live and record what you're watching just like a DVR. They don't proactively record for you.
- Guvante 12y agoThey work like a DVR, you can set a show to record and it will save a copy just for you using your antenna.
- pbreit 12y agoThat's one version. The other is that you simply watch the show in near-real-time, just as you would if the camera were sitting in your window. IANAL, but felt like the DVR functionality really clouded the case and possibly skewed it away from Aereo. Harder to claim you are merely an antenna when you are recording, too.
