A Letter to Our Consumers: Standing Together for Innovation, Progress and Technology - Let's Raise Our Voices
chet_320x219.jpg
On Saturday, many of you received the news that we decided to pause our operations temporarily, as a result of the United States Supreme Court's reversal of a lower court decision in favor of Aereo.

Your response in support of the Aereo team has been overwhelming and touching. Your tweets, emails and Facebook posts have made it clear how important it is for so many Americans to have access to a cloud-based antenna to watch live broadcast television. Many of you have asked, "What can we do?"

Today, I'm asking you to raise your hands and make your voices heard. Tell your lawmakers how disappointed you are that the nation's highest court issued a decision that could deny you the right to use the antenna of your choice to access live over-the-air broadcast television. Tell them your stories of why having access to a cloud-based antenna is important to you and your families. Show them you care about this issue.

Visit the updated ProtectMyAntenna.org, find your representatives and send tweets, emails and Facebook messages asking them to take action to protect your right to use the antenna of your choice to access live free-to-air broadcasts, including the ability to use a cloud-based antenna.

Don't let your voices be silenced. Let's stand together for innovation, progress, and technology.

Thank you for your continued support. We are truly grateful.

Yours truly,

Good luck with that. A bucket brigade to lift water from the bottom of Niagara Falls to the top.

We don't know how many are affected, but if it's enough folks (even folks like us who don't like the law and were never subscribers) petition their representatives, then something will get done.

NAB dollars vs a few malcontent voters who'll likely be swayed by ads later anyway. Hmmm, what to do, what not to do.....

Like lawmakers pay attention to petitions... The few people that lost service probably contribute very little to campaigns compared to broadcasters and the entertainment industry. Remember it is everyone involved, not just CBS/NBC/ABC/FOX, actors, musicians, writers, directors, producers, etc. all have a piece of the pie that is local distribution fees.
