A class-action lawsuit has been filed against SlingMedia over the illegal use of forced advertisements on all platforms that exclude paid for applications. This constitutes a bait-and-switch as users are basically being charged large amounts of money for hardware as well as monetizing video streams they do not have the rights to. Aereo was shut down basically over monetizing streams it was ruled they didn't have access too. Apparently they've decided the ruling didn't apply to them at all. http://topclassactions.com/lawsuit-settlements/lawsuit-news/70639-slingbox-class-action-lawsuit-filed-unwanted-ads/
