It seemed that the SCOTUS decision punished Aereo for not paying re-transmission fees. I really didn’t see anything in the decision that said transmitting content anywhere was wrong. So if Aereo somehow negotiated with their broadcasters, their service would be legal, despite it being able to send a NY signal to someone on vacation in LA.
Interesting point @snowcat, How would you say that is different from someone taking their satellite dish with them from NY to LA and watching NY stations? Seems to me it should be ok. But, honestly the way broadcasters have been so against streaming content even when you have a paid subscription I am sure they would dislike that.
I was researching what RVers do. It seems that when they go to another part of the country, they just call up the satellite provider and change their address to the local one. They can’t pick up their original signal if they go too far since satellite uses a spotbeam for that area.
That’s interesting you say that, my parents used to travel all around and never called DirecTV, but maybe they didn’t go far enough
@Jestep it only affects the local channels broadcasted via spot beams.
