Since the Supreme Court put it in writing they do have a case because the Supreme Court put in their decision that Aero basically operated like a cable company.

Aereo is finished. The broadcasters have spread their money around well, and everybody important to this issue is in their pocket.
They will never get any further as it stands.

broadcasters maybe but the actual service providers is a different story like Dish and Directtv
Aereo, the troubled provider of broadband TV and cloud DVR services, announced Friday (November 21) that it has filed for a voluntary Chapter 11 reorganization in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York.
In tandem, the company announced that it had appointed Lawton Bloom of Argus to serve as chief restructuring officer during this period.

Yet Filmon keeps chugging along:

The Filmon site indicates that local network channels are not available. Anyone receiving local channels via Fimon?
There has been no locals on Filmon since maybe June or July. They had a dozen or so CW's or This TV not the major networks from across the country.
Filmon was forced to kill the local channels with the Supreme Court Aereo decision this year. But they have plenty of other channels.
My point was that Filmon didn't go completely out of business like Aereo. They just focused on other programming channels.
Aereo sold off it's assets in a bankruptcy auction, hoped to get as much as $31m, and at least $4m. They got $2m.

TiVo is acquiring Aereo’s trademarks and customer lists. RPX Corp., a patent-aggregation firm, is paying $225,000 for Aereo’s patents, while Alliance Technology Solutions is buying the startup’s equipment for $300,000.

A year less a day after the Barry Diller-backed streaming service argued in front of the Supreme Court over the broadcasters’ claims of copyright violation, the now Chapter 11 Aereo hopes its come to the end of the long legal road. The shuttered company and its nemeses have come to a deal that will see Aereo pay out $950,000 to ABC, Fox, CBS, NBC, Telemundo and others so they will end their legal pursuit of the Chet Kanojia founded tech firm.
