Aereo (https://aereo.com/)is a pretty interesting way to watch TV that seems to be gaining more traction and increased media coverage. Basically they have very small antennas in a bunch of major cities in the States receiving OTA TV signals. They offer an online service where you can access these OTA signals on a variety of devices and even include an online PVR. Cost starts at $8/month.

The FAQ says you have to have a Credit Card with a Zipcode based in the city you're trying to access these streams from. I'm sure there must be a way around this and someone from say - Calgary - could pay for this service and have access to these channels. As happy as I am as a cord-cutter I wouldn't mind having a few extra channels to choose from from every now and then.

Any advice how one would go about this? Is anyone using this service and have any first hand experiences they would care to share?
