Aereo readies Chromecast launch

US TV streaming service Aereo is set to launch on Google’s Chromecast platform by the end of next month. 

From May 29, Aereo subscribers will be able to access the firm’s antenna and DVR technology to record and watch live television using Google’s Chromecast device, after updating their Aereo app for Android.

“The way people watch and experience television is changing and Google is a pioneer in providing consumers with more choice and flexibility in how they access and experience that media,” said Aereo CEO and founder Chet Kanoija.

“We’re excited that Aereo will be Google Cast Ready this May. Consumers deserve more options and alternatives in how they watch television and our team is committed to providing consumers with the best experience possible using Aereo’s innovative cloud technology.”
