If you think you are getting channels like ESPN for less than $100+ a month you are dreaming.
What happens if they start losing revenue because people are unwilling to pay that for ESPN. I'm willing to bet they would lower prices if the subscriber base shrinks too much. Although I would also be willing to bet they stop paying top dollar for sports they cover currently, and we will go back to the days when Getty Oil owned them and we had Australian rules football on all the time.

Cable companies would see that as license to do the exact same thing and stop paying your local stations to broadcast their stations over cable.
That's not correct. Cable companies and broadcast stations are entirely and completely separate things in the eyes of the law and the FCC and governed by completely different rules. But the Dingo babysitter (Tom Wheeler) is winning right now.

He's not wrong. The service provides broadcast channels to you for a fee. Difference being that they weren't going to pay the broadcasters as the cable companies do for reselling their product.

I dont understand why he's glad they lost. Aereo didnt force everyone to pay for over the air TV. They offered services to go along with it. It's a pretty awesome company that made the cable companies shite their pants.

I don't know why he's glad either but their business model was doomed to failure. No way the courts were going to allow them to set up their own "satellite TV" network without paying fees to the companies whose products they were selling.
Even with their tiny token antennae for every subscriber that they were using as a loophole.
I'd pay for the service BTW, but I'd expect them to pay the providers so that I don't get my service shut down without any notice.
