In Aereo’s case, they are renting you a DVR and a single antenna that is yours alone to control that only picks up OTA television.

So Aereo’s antennas allow their clients to control what they see – a cable company’s clients can also control what they see. I think Aereo is trying to exploit a loophole in the copyright law and accomplish something that could not have been anticipated when the law was written.
