Free TV streaming (for select areas)
Ran across this today... LoCast It's banned in Michigan for some reason but available in other large states. Claims to be 100% free streaming of broadcast networks.

They are asking for donations. No obligation. That's different than charging a subscription fee. And that's why Aereo lost their case. It wasn't free. As important to the Aereo case as rebroadcasting was also the DVR.
I'm not clear why people would want to do this anyway. For areas within 25 or 30 miles to the broadcast towers, a $25 indoor antenna will get lots of stations. Couple that with an OTA DVR like a Tablo or a Fire TV Recast. Add a streaming channel package like Sling TV and you've got more than you can get with cable for fraction of the price.
