Slingbox allows customers to privately rebroadcast content they have a license to view unlike Aereo which did not have that right.

  Not sure why a fact is something that should be so disagreeable to be downvoted. I know the truth hurts for this issue, but that is reality.

  No one is claiming Aereo has that right. They're claiming that the person renting the antenna does. The implication of the case seems to be that renting an antenna does not give you those rights in the same way buying one does, which is bizarre and kind of hard to rationalize.

    You can rent an antenna and do this privately to you and your household, you can't do this as a 3rd party company according to the law.

      Except the whole argument was that the 3rd party company wasn't doing it, it was simply providing a location for the customer's rented property to sit, wasn't it?

        Basically the 3rd party didn't have a right to redistribute the content which is what the court ruled.
