Barry Diller, who created the Fox television network almost 30 years ago, has introduced Aereo, an Internet television service that will use broadband Internet to stream HD-quality broadcast television from the major TV networks (ABC, CBS, PBS, Fox, NBC) and local channels to phones, tablets and Internet-connected TVs, such as AppleTV and Roku.

The service will be available in New York City on March 14, with a 30-day free trial and membership fee of $12 per month. Aereo will provide an easy-to-use, tiny, proprietary remote antenna and DVR.

UPDATE: Federal lawsuits against Aereo, a startup that plans to show broadcast TV online, could influence the awkward relationship between television and the Internet, Technology Review Editors blog reports.
