| Aereo Aereo doesn't have to pay broadcasters carriage fees, and Dish does. A partnership with Dish could save Dish a lot of money and bring in a lot of money for Aereo. Sound like a win win.
I am not convinced Aereo will not implode however. |

| Roku has the same idea basically. Become an MVNO and move on. Dish is currently providing the international channels to Roku and they have stated before (last year many times) that an MVNO is possible. |

How does it save Dish money? Aereo's legal standing is based upon connecting each user to a tuner and separate antenna in their facilities. How would Dish leverage this to provide OTA to their subscribers through the satellite? Unless the Dish customer also signs up for satellite broadband and Dish has the bandwidth to stream Aereo's OTA channels to the consumer, I don't see how Dish could partner with Aereo and stop paying carriage fees. |

| Dish wouldn't really save money on carriage fees- unless Aereo PAID Dish to be an MVNO. Which would reduce the amount Dish pays directly since they can split the cost with Aereo.
But what this could do is give Dish the power and network to stream without spending much money since Aereo already has that. They can just peer their networks together over Fiber. |

some of the dish boxes can have antenna tuners added to them so maybe if a sub has a working antenna and then they say for that sub they do not have to pay the broadcasters carriage fees. |

| the antenna tuner on the box isn't going to improve anything. Aereo isn't giving you antennas to put at your home. they're streaming you your OTA service on the Internet. You already put your antenna at their data bank. |
