From the link: "Any program which they can watch on their TV set, such as live prime time TV programs and sports events"

There are two reasons I paid for Aereo:

1. I cannot receive a digital TV signal over the air where I live. 2. I wanted just local channels, but did not want to pay another $30-50/mo for other channels that I'm not going to watch.

The Hauppauge product solves neither of these problems.

Relocating the receiver to a metropolitan area greatly increases the number of people who can watch the content, and ads, that are being broadcast.

As much as I do not agree with Justices Roberts or Scalia, I agree with their dissent in this case. This decision makes no sense from a legal (or technological) perspective.
