TiVo CEO Tom Rogers told The Post two months ago that his company could provide Aereo’s suddenly cut-off fans with everything they need to get their video-streaming fix.
On Monday, though, he made it even easier — and cheaper — for cord-cutters to replicate the Aereo experience that the Supreme Court saw fit to put out of business.
“We recognize there’s a subset that Aereo clearly lit up that wants a more limited offering of broadcast signals and over-the-top content,” Rogers said Monday in debuting TiVo’s new Roamio OTA DVR.
The device retails for $49.99 — compared to $179 for the low-end TiVo model consumers have been using for over-the-air broadcasts — records up to four shows at once and stores as much as 75 hours of programming.
All customers have to do after buying the Roamio OTA is plug in an antenna and sign up for a $14.99 per month service subscription. That compares to the $8 a month asked by Aereo before shutting down at the end of June.
Barry Diller-backed Aereo, launched in February 2012, accumulated fewer than 80,000 subscribers in 10 cities.
