This sounds similar to what Optus are doing here in Australia with their TV Now service, although they are billing themselves as a "remote PVR" rather than "remote antenna".

Building a business on a "loophole" seems to be a highly risky affair. That said, I'm not really familiar with the US law making process so I don't know how long it would take to change it to make what they are doing illegal.
