Pay-TV operators start streaming live TV outside home

In an affirmation that the TV-to-go trend is irrevocable, pay-TV providers are dipping their toes into a new experiment that allows subscribers to stream real-time programming — as it is aired — on tablets and smartphones outside the home. The shift to offer live TV streaming outside the home is partly a competitive response. Several start-ups, including Aereo, want to bypass the traditional, complex TV industry relationships and deliver live over-the-air broadcasts to mobile devices.
