What Aereo is trying to do is distribute NBC's content to customers without paying for it. How far away from my TV am I allowed to place my VCR/DVR? What should be the distance limit? Can I stream my in-home DVR to my TV over WiFi or CAT5? How far away can my DVR be when I stream it? I'm guessing it's legal for me to have a DVR in my living-room and stream content acquired from over-the-air broadcasts from it to my garage over a network or wireless. If so, what changes when my DVR is colocated? This all seems like a "color of bits" issue.
