With the Supreme Court’s ruling against Aereo’s
over-the-air TV over Internet service, new RCA digital
antennas with patented 360° reception deliver an affordable
solution to access broadcast content
The Supreme Court’s ruling that Aereo violated broadcasters’
copyrights has subscribers unsure of how Aereo will evolve to
continue in new form. With Aereo CEO Chet Kanojia stating there is
“no plan B,” subscribers are looking for solutions to continue
accessing broadcast content without the burden of monthly cable
bills. RCA, the original pioneer of color television and antenna
technologies, and the #1 selling antenna brand on the market,
is coming to the aide of cord cutters following the ruling against
Aereo with brand new product to give consumers the highest quality
reception of free broadcast channels.
“Many cord cutters who relied on Aereo monthly plans to receive
their favorite broadcast channels are wondering where they will
turn to get their favorite shows, news and sporting events, and
we’re happy to offer a range of antenna solutions to ensure they
will continue to be able to access this content,” said David Geise,
president of Voxx Accessories (NASDAQ: VOXX), which owns the RCA
brand. “RCA antennas deliver the same broadcast content for free in
HD without a monthly fee. We agree that consumer access to
free-to-air broadcast TV is an essential part of our country’s
fabric. The latest RCA omnidirectional flat panel antenna is a
simple-to-use, smarter antenna that is affordable for all. It is
also a solution that can function without the need for Internet
access or a mobile device.”
Affordable digital antennas allow viewers to watch live
broadcast networks and access great-looking HD content. RCA has
developed a site specifically to help consumers select the right
antenna for their home environment called TVSetFree.com. For cord
cutters looking to record content, there are several DVR solutions
that can be paired with digital antennas for added
functionality.
TV Guide recently reported that 47 of the 50 top-watched shows
during the 2013-2014 season in the U.S. were over the air broadcast
shows, available for free to those with an antenna. The new RCA
Ultra-Thin HDTV Indoor Antenna employs patented 360° degree
reception technology and gives consumers the discreet look they
want. The Ultra-Thin HDTV Indoor Antenna receives free local news,
sports, weather and popular TV show broadcasts in both UHF and VHF
frequencies in up to 1080i.
RCA digital flat antennas are the only antennas that receive
true 360° signals, outperforming competitive antennas that only
offer bi- or multi-directional signal support. This is great for
the many consumers who live in dense urban areas or have several
broadcast towers in different directions.
