Aereo and DTV Apps

Interesting look at Aereo and the Dyle and MyDTV apps could undercut the growth and adoption of Aereo.

Aereo plans to roll out to 22 cities soon but if you just need the Dyle and MyDTV apps to pick up the same channels - doesn't that greatly undercut the Aereo value proposition? Right now the apps are free but even if they were priced at just the cost of a single month of Aereo service - say $8 - then it still represents a great value.

My guess is that in the future cell carriers will put together packages with apps like Dyle and MyDTV coupled with an OTT service like Netflix or Amazon Prime. Think about a company like Verizon Wireless and what they could do with a couple apps like Dyle and MyDTV coupled with their new Redbox Instant service. An almost perfect combination.

Makes sense.
