No.

What people (and Aereo) were saying was that Aereo was renting
equipment (an antenna and a DVR) to its customers, not providing a
video distribution service.

The Supreme Court majority thought that this didn't matter; they know
a cable company when they see one, and Aereo was a cable company.
