Couldn't care less... couldn't care less... couldn't care less...
But, IF he only cares 1/2 of the way now, then he COULD care less if he wanted to! LOL
Yes, but the issue with Aero was the retransmission of local channel tv without the expressed (and compensated) permission of the local station.
Perhaps if they do not charge, the local stations are willing to allow it?
I’d love to use it when San Diego comes online.
This isn't an issue unique to Locast. The exact same spoofing method works with two of the networks' own local channel live streaming services - CBS All Access and Fox.com, to be exact. I have read that it works with the local channels on YouTube TV as well.
If the networks and stations pursue legal action against Locast due to the way they determine the user's location, they would have to pursue legal action against CBS All Access, Fox, and YouTube TV too, since they all use the same method.
This is similar to older product..known as a slingbox...perfectly legal

Exactly! Hence my question about how it is different than Aero. Perhaps as noted, there isn't a fee for the service.
Some of my local stations do stream their news broadcasts, and when they go to commercial breaks, I get either a notice saying the news will be back after a short pause, or a digital stream specific commercial or the same commercial as broadcast. I suspect that advertising rates are tied to this new way of delivering the signal.
Eventually, much like Dish's "Soon" all the local stations will stream the whole broadcast.
Also they are not going the aereo went they are a non for profit organization. I want to see this company add alot more cities or dmas and also add subchannels too
Maybe he wants a cheap alternative to another cable box...it works great on roku

Nothing like poking the bear...
Still, he responded to the post, so he could care less by not responding at all.Couldn't care less... couldn't care less... couldn't care less...
When did Locast start running an ad for donations before you can watch? It runs one every time I switch channels. After reading the article posted in this thread, I think they will run out of money long before the nets bother to sue.
It is quite funny. "Tired of paying for tv? Then use our completely free app. It runs on donations, so if you don't donate, we'll have to close down." So, if I just pay for satellite, cable, or streaming, I will pay more, but get more. Got it.
