said by CXM_Splicer:Since most TV stations have moved to UHF the difference is not that far off.
According to Antennas Direct, 74% of the DTV stations are on UHF (14-51), 24% are on high VHF (7-13) and less than 2% are on Low VHF(2-6).

The antenna patents are available online (so much for 'the vaguest terms) .
Yes, but outside of Aereo no one really knows if the antennas are being used the way they claim.

There was testimony about them in the first court case but it is not part of the legal question anymore.
Thanks for making me aware of this.

If you think Aereo is reselling programming then why do you think Slingbox is allowed to do the same thing without paying retrans fees?
Because in most cases Sling users are already paying a provider for content. If the national average applies, there might be 15% of Sling users that only have OTA, but I'd guess that the number is much smaller.

Why is Cablevision allowed to receive programming and record it and rebroadcast it to their customers with their 'Remote DVR' for a fee?
Because CV pays the broadcasters for access to their content and end users pay CV.
Like I said initially, it's all about broadcasters getting paid for the content they pay for.
