The Slingbox model is very clearly a personal one: the user's individual Slingbox deliver's one stream to the user.
Aereo's claim is that they use individual antennas for each subscriber. Every engineer I know believes they use an antenna array that splits the signals to all subscribers, making them more like a cable system than like Slingbox.
Unfortunately for the broadcasters, they didn't have any of those engineers testify in the first trial. Once there's a court decision, it's very tough to get appellate courts to consider new basic facts; the appeals process is geared towards errors of legal process.
