Aereo is significantly different from Dish's technology. With Dish, in the case of "Primetime Any Time", the Hopper receiver (the DVR) receives the tv signal and records the broadcasts from Fox and I think 3 other stations onto a dedicated partition on it. From there, if the customer has the Sling adapter accessory or the built in sling adapter the customer can stream any live or recorded content to just about any internet connected device. So using Prime Time Anytime where the commercials are skipped, and streaming the content over the internet is pretty awesome for the DVR owner. This is all different from Aereo which for all intents and purposes held the DVR and then streamed the output of it to the user via the internet.
