Sezmi, a subscription TV service aimed at consumers fed up with cable and satellite TV, officially launched Thursday (Feb. 18) in Los Angeles and parts of surrounding counties, following a trial there last year. The service uses broadcast digital spectrum leased from TV stations to deliver local TV, cable and Web video.
Plans are to launch Sezmi into other markets, making the service available nationwide this spring via distribution deals with broadband providers.
Consumers can purchase the equipment—a set-top-box capable of recording 1,400 hours of programming; and antenna, from Best Buy—for $299.
