Remember Aereo (http://www.pcworld.com/article/2851093/aereo-files-for-bankruptcy-after-supreme-courts-killing-blow.html)? It was an ill-fated startup that delivered over-the-air broadcast television from a cluster of mini-antennas based in major cities. A 2014 Supreme Court ruling forced the pioneering cloud service out of business after broadcasters complained the technology infringed on their copyright, sending cord-cutters in search of other options.</p><p>
Aereo would have been ideal for me. I live an hour south of Cleveland’s major networks, far enough away that indoor antennas and portable solutions like TabletTV (http://www.macworld.com/article/3041043/iphone-ipad/tablettv-review-live-from-your-ipad-it-s-local-tv-no-subscription-necessary.html) rarely pull in more than a few second-tier stations. So, I was intrigued when the makers of a new wireless smart antenna offered to take their product for a spin.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3154384/consumer-electronics/watchair-review-promising-wireless-smart-tv-antenna-for-cord-cutters.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
