Aereo, TV over Internet service, expands to PCs

NEW YORK (AP) — A Barry Diller-backed company called Aereo is broadening availability of its service even as broadcasters challenge the legality of the startup’s live television transmissions over the Internet.

Aereo is still limited to residents of New York City, but it’s now available on additional devices including Windows computers and on a wider selection of Web browsers including Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer. Before, access was restricted to selected Apple devices such as the iPhone and the iPad, as well as the Roku streaming set-top box.
