Judge Rules Against Online TV Service

theirs already a thread about this

No there isn't. There's a thread about Ivi not offering Philadelphia or Antenna TV. Not one about the court decision.

FYI: Make sure you start a new thread rather than post this on an unrelated topic like board consolidation. We don't want your question to be lost in the crush of replies on that thread.

Well, who cares there is already a thread that mentions IVI. For this user, I was educated by THIS thread, as I was looking forward to signing on to the site, and now doesn't look too promising. Oh well. These days, you can still catch a lot of programming (usually local news) on the stations websites. Perhaps that is where we will be for awhile.

Nevertheless, after first hearing IVI, I knew it was too good to be true, and too good to last.

We started adding to that thread after someone threw the court decision into it.

For historical purposes, here is the first IVI-TV thread. ;D

And, oh yeah, IVI says they're going to appeal the court's ruling:
