Aereo, the New York-based startup streaming live broadcast television online, is expanding to Atlanta.

The cord-cutting service, which uses remote, cloud-based antennas to pull streaming TV content from broadcast channels at a price less expensive than television packages, will be available to Atlanta residents for pre-registration starting on June 17. It will open up to all area residents on June 24.

The company also recently detailed a new pricing plan, starting with a base plan of $8 per month and including 20 hours of DVR storage. For $4 more, consumers can upgrade to 60 hours of DVR storage. The first month of membership is free with no minimum time commitment. Aereo also works on tablets, smartphones and laptops.

The service first launched in New York City and rolled out to Boston last month. Atlanta is Aereo's third city for deployment. Earlier this year, the company said it would be expanding to 22 more cities this spring, from Chicago and Detroit to Dallas and Philadelphia.

Although it's a big win for consumers, it hasn't been met warmly by local and national broadcasters. Networks sued Aereo even before it launched, claiming it violated re-transmission laws and violated their copyright. The company successfully appealed an injunction to continue the service and expand into new regions while the lawsuit continues.
