OTA re-transmission

[Bob Nelson]

People were saying Aereo was no different than putting up rabbit ears or a
roof antenna.
There is a difference. If I do that, I get signals via the antenna, simple
as that. Aereo
required that you pay them to get re-tranmission, much like cable or
satellite.

If I have a basic AM-FM radio in my car, I get AM, FM, and maybe HD if HD
is in it.
If I have an XM or Sirius satellite radio, I can only get reception if I
pay them. If I cancel
my XM subscription,the XM radio is useless. People were paying Aereo for
service,
not just using an antenna.
