TiVo spent $1 million during the bankruptcy case of failed TV-streaming service Aereo Inc. to buy trademarks and customer lists, and now the TV recording pioneer is making moves to acquire former Aereo customers, the Wall Street Journal reported today. In emails bearing Aereo’s logo to former customers, TiVo pitched its TiVo Roamio-OTA as a service that was “conceived, developed and introduced for people just like you.” The TiVo offer to Aereo customers comes out to $19.99 a month with a two-year commitment. That’s $5 more a month and a year longer commitment than the service is normally, but the company is throwing in the required equipment free: two devices that are normally $49.99 and $129 each. The devices together allow customers to record live antenna TV and watch on multiple devices — that is, if you already own an antenna.
