I hope they win too...if for no other reason than the fact that big cities like NYC get so many high quality HD broadcast channels while smaller cities are lucky to get 3 low-power channels that require a 6-foot antenna. The cable company here is a monopoly and they charge $50 a month for absolute basic cable which is 30 SD channels that are all HD back in Tampa (where I lived last) and 10 HD channels (6 of which are HD versions of the SD channels). If these broadcasters are making money because of people tuning into these channels, and they are getting more viewers without having to buy/operate extra towers, WTF are they complaining about? I know they get rebroadcasing fees from cable companies...but they really don't get that much. They could easily do this themselves and make more money than they get from rebroadcasting fees...and Aereo wouldn't even be a concern because the "name brand" version for the same price will always win.
