TiVo Tries to Scoop Up Former Aereo Customers

After Supreme Court shut down the service for copyright infringement

In the ashes of Aereo's now-defunct service, TiVo is making a play for the streaming service's former customers.

Over the past few days, an email bearing the Aereo logo with the subject line "Aereo Bankruptcy Resolution" has been hitting Aereo subscribers' inboxes. The email, which TiVo confirms to Adweek it sent, pitches the company's Roamio-OTA DVR, explaining that the device "was conceived, developed and introduced for people just like you."

TiVo purchased the Aereo trademark and customer lists following Aereo's bankruptcy filing in November.
