looks like the tv service Aereo

Summarised by Mixtral 8x7B as:

Aereo was a streaming service that provided its users with the ability to watch and record over-the-air broadcast television on internet-connected devices. The service used a network of dime-sized antennas to capture broadcast signals, with each antenna assigned to an individual user. This allowed Aereo to argue that it was simply providing subscribers with a remote antenna and DVR, which is legal under copyright law. The back-end of Aereo's service was located in data centers in New York City and Atlanta. The service's clients were internet-connected devices such as smartphones, tablets, and computers. The technology behind Aereo was based on the idea of using a large number of small antennas to provide individual streams of broadcast television to users. This allowed Aereo to argue that it was not publicly performing copyrighted works, but rather providing a technology service. However, in 2014, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that Aereo violated copyright laws by publicly performing copyrighted works without a license, stating that "Aereo is not simply an equipment provider" and that it "performs petitioners' works publicly." This ruling led to the shutdown of the service.
