Pedantic but Aereo doesn't cut into retranmission fees, antenna viewing cuts into their retransmission fees. They are saying they don't want more people using antenna instead of cable. We can speculate why that is, probably antenna customers are less profitable or perhaps retransmission fees are a more stable income.

Yes- and that's why I don't support what they're doing. They're directing their legal wrath against Aereo (and so, Aereo's users) rather than attempting to solve what is actually a problem between the broadcast networks and cable companies.

But I do still get the root cause of what they're doing. And I don't particularly want my cable company to make even more money than they do already.
