Aereo, the streamable antenna TV and DVR service, announced on Thursday that it will be setting up shop in Chicago in September. The service will extend to several counties in Illinois and Indiana, providing access to channels including ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS, and FOX affiliates.

Aereo began as a digital service in the New York metro area, selling subscriptions to antenna access as well as 20 or 60 hours of DVR storage for $8-12 dollars every month. Since its launch, the IAC-owned startup has been targeted with an onslaught of lawsuits from broadcast networks trying to nail it down on some kind of theft of service charge, but so far Aereo has skipped free.

Aereo has since expanded to Boston and Atlanta, thus far sticking to the East Coast. Several more large cities are in Aereo’s sights, including Austin, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and Washington, DC, but none have a concrete timetable as of yet.

Illinois counties including Cook, DeKalb, DuPage, Grundy, Kane, Kankakee, Kendall, La Salle, Lake, McHenry, and Will are set to gain Aereo access on September 13. Jasper, La Porte, Lake, Newton, and Porter counties in Indiana will get access at the same time.

This news comes as briefs have been submitted in the WNET v. Aereo case, wherein News Corp. has accused Aereo of pirating its broadcast signal. The judge in the case is considering a summary judgment without full trial.
