Fox has cited Wednesday’s ruling – which found Aereo to be operating illegally – to bolster its claim against a service offered by Dish, America’s third largest pay TV service, which streams live TV programming over the internet to its subscribers and allows them to copy programmes onto tablet computers for viewing outside the home.

Clearly Fox doesn't want those who actually pay to receive their horsecrap programming to view it on something other than a TV. I mean Heaven Forbid people watch video on a device not tied directly to a cable box!

OH THE HORROR!!

Having said that, Fox is of course entitled to compensation for their product which they are getting from Dish Network Subscribers. This beef is really about taking the content with the subscriber so they decide when to watch that programming.

How absurd of Fox. I'm darn sure glad I don't pay Cable/Satellite anymore (coming up on 2 years w/o that crap.) TV is nothing more than junk-food for the brain.

True. Not certain why Fox is doing this, as they are not losing any revenue by people opting for the streaming video instead of the other methods. Have to wonder who the genius was that decided to attempt to curtail it as it can only reduce the number of available or potential viewers.

Here's the reason:

...which allowed them to skip all of a broadcaster's ads...

Fox News has become the television version of the Rush Limbaugh Show - blocks of commercials interrupted (infrequently) by short bits of live/taped programming.

They don't want anything disrupting their gravy train.
