Broadcasters Petition Court for New Hearing in Aereo Case

Petition is next step to protect copyright

Two weeks after the Second Circuit Court of Appeals refused to shut down Aereo, New York TV station owners petitioned the court for an "en banc" hearing. 

"This petition is an important next step in ensuring the protection of our copyrighted material," said a statement from plaintiffs Fox, Univision, WNET and the Public Broadcasting Service.

Backed by former network TV exec Barry Diller, Aereo streams over the air TV signals to subscribers who rent an individual, dime-sized antenna.
