Supreme Court ruling premits free TV via tiny Clear Cast device
The decision empowers consumers to use a razor thin micro antenna at home to receive free digital TV with no monthly bills. The device pulls in channels without cable satellite or internet, marketed as a smart alternative to pay TV. Aereo may suspend operations after the ruling as it faced bootlegging concerns and charged subscribers eight to twelve dollars monthly to lease a small remote antenna.
