fun fact; pretty much everywhere i've lived i just plug the cable directly from the wall into my tv. even without paying for cable tv i still get the local channels through the cable.

the old tv programming/advertisement model is dead and the networks need to adapt instead of eliminating viewers. it doesn't make any sense that a middleman cloud service is their problem. you may as well make grocery delivery services illegal too because supermarkets lose money from all the extra stuff you're not…

NASA aren't the only people that are coming up with advancements.

i would also add that 'broadcast' means to transmit something to multiple recipients simultaneously. to stream a tv show from your hard drive (where ever it is) at the particular moment you want to is not BROADcasting.

so every time you "rebroadcast" something from your dvr to your tv you should be paying money to the networks? that's all they're doing except from further away.

they're not selling the content. they're selling the equipment and the convenience. is best buy wrong for selling HD antennas, or the manufactureres for making them?

but aereo WAS getting it over the air. i think i heard that originally they diddn't even have an antenna. or they'd have ONE. then i guess some legal issues made them have an actual antenna for each customer. i just had a funny image of the FCC or whoever going to aereo and asking to see John Smith's antenna so they…

actually, i think it'd be quite hard to hit a duck with a cannonball. that's why hunters use bird shot for that sort of thing. this is more like hitting a car with an a-bomb

eh, except they technically only serve one term. it's just a really long term

i saw it as more like i'm renting an antenna and vcr from them and storing the tape in a po box for me to get whenever i want

for real. how is this any different than a modern version of the VCR? i could hook my antenna into my pc and record any over the air tv i want to. you don't have to call it a DVR. guh, stupid supreme court.

no, i got lasik a few years ago

you can't put a price on someone's life. or no one is willing to admit how low it might be

i wonder how the garage is laid out to efficiently park all these cars so this robot can access them all. or does it just play musical parking spots with them all day long?

meh. all nasa does is slowly leak the technology they steal from the aliens that crashed near roswell

screw the pound. i always write money as 10.50$ and i encourage you to join me

on the flip side, why is NASA researching this?

"diamond mine was responsible for funneling diamonds" —- i see what you did there

it was fun when i was 7. then i realized how uncomfortable it was to lay in one with your shoulders all mashed in while you sink through the holes before your sister sneaks up and flips you over
