NimbleTV was a technology company that allowed subscribers to view live and time-shifted streams of over-the-air and cable television content on internet connected devices. The service was cloud-based and did not require hardware. The beta was rolled out in Spring 2012 and the service officially launched in New York City in December 2013. NimbleTV has been described as a " slingbox and tivo put together" and as the "Anti- Aereo" service. because unlike Aereo, NimbleTV's business model "improves existing pay TV and does not displace it." Venture capital firms backing NimbleTV include Greycroft Partners, Tribeca Venture Partners and the Tribune Company. NimbleTV was awarded the 2013 Tribeca Disruptive Innovation Award and is a 2014 Edison Awards Nominee.
In January 2015, NimbleTV shut down their service with a promise to launch an even "better product." A week after the shutdown, Synacor Inc. announced their acquisition of NimbleTV for its "technology that will enable [them] to deploy an authenticated, linear TV service" as well as "a team steeped in video expertise."
