I wonder what would happen if Apple bought Dish Network and used that as a wedge to stream local OTA channels to AppleTV subscribers.

- orky56 11y agoSlingTV (offered by Dish Network) isn't able to offer local OTA channels via streaming though. The method of delivery (stream/coax) is enough to renegotiate licensing deals. This article provides a good perspective in the areas you're thinking about: http://www.wsj.com/articles/local-tv-creates-hurdle-to-streaming-1441325369 http://www.wsj.com/articles/local-tv-creates-hurdle-to-strea...
- stcredzero 11y agoWhy not just build digital antenna into SlingBoxen? It could even produce a map with a diagram showing you how to aim the antenna, and what length to configure it to. The app could even display a real-time signal strength display. This would give fairly good coverage in most of the larger metropolitan areas in the US.
