Aereo Shut Down

I'm not usually one to write about court decisions. They usually don't directly effect me, at least noticeably. However, I am quite upset about a ruling by US District Court Judge Dale A. Kimball. He ruled that Aereo should be shut down while we wait to hear what the Supreme Court will rule on the matter this summer.

Are you kidding me? The Supreme Court will hear the case, but he enforced a preliminary injunction in the tenth circuit states? Does this sound reasonable at all? Every other case against Aereo has been ruled in favor of Aereo. In the good old tenth circuit, however, we go our own way, I guess.

I am extremely disappointed in this ruling. I have grown quite fond of Aereo's service. Having over the air TV signals available via the internet is completely awesome. Their cloud DVR absolutely rules too. I loved being able to record NFL games this season and watch them later from any of my devices. I'm really going to miss this service. I don't anticipate it being turned back on any time soon. These battles tend to drag out for a long time.
