honestly with the proliferation of high speed internet, paid for tv services whether its cable or satellite is stagnated industry, with very little to no future growth.
Well, that was unexpected (by me). Article about the ruling here: http://techcrunch.com/2014/06/25/aereo-loses-in-supreme-court-deemed-illegal/
Didnt surprise me one bit, the Supreme Court now sways towards corporate or special interests anymore.
Here is what I would like to see.
I see a New "Aereo" Slingbox coming out soon, which you can buy at Best Buy or online and send to your local Aereo POP It will plus into the existing Aereo Antenna system and will allow you reception of your locals via your Slingbox. Aereo will then charge a monthly hosting fee instead of the DVR fee they are charging now.
Since the Slingbox has already been ruled as being legal this would get around all this crap once and for all.

What about the ruling makes sending the signal through an additional device ok, and not just obviously trying to work around the copyright, something they claimed they weren't trying to do as it is with the individual antenna scheme?

In a brief look things it seemed they ruled that the copyright violation was the storage and charging for that storage on Aereos DVR's.
But despite that it still constitutes a public performance? So not sure how adding Sling changes that. I haven't read much myself yet.

Nope as was argued before the supreme court the Slingbox is considered a private performance.
The big issue here was the storage and making people pay to access the DVR stored content is what seemed to have gotten Aereo.
Here is the official ruling from the Supreme Court.

It's a rare day I agree with Scalia, Thomas, and Alito.
Well, that shocks me because Comcast's cloud DVR has already been allowed. Can Aereo simply disconnect the cloud DVR service and go to live streaming?
The difference there was Comcast was paying the broadcasters to be able to do that. Aereo wasn't.
You can't fight the nab.Charlie can attest to that.Thats ok though, the bubble is still going to burst and the nab can put that in thier pipe and smoke it.
