The broadcasters subpoenaed Aereo as part of the discovery process for their lawsuit against the company, according to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/thr-esq\/tv-broadcasters-looking-aereo-dish-432748\">a Hollywood Reporter story<\/a> from yesterday.<\/p>\n<p>The motion seeks to uncover \u201cany \u2018actual, contemplated, considered, or proposed\u2019 business arrangements\u201d between Aereo and Dish as well as \u201coffers or expressions of interest by Dish in acquiring Aereo\u2019s assets,\u201d according to passages quoted by the Reporter. Of course, Dish doesn\u2019t want any of those discussions to be public, which is why the company is now trying to quash the subpoena.<\/p>\n<p>Dish\u2019s Charlie Ergen has been very vocal in his support for new TV business and distribution models, <a href=\"http:\/\/gigaom.com\/2013\/02\/11\/dishs-charlie-ergen-i-think-people-are-cutting-the-cord\/\">going as far as saying<\/a> that \u201ca lot of customers can live with Netflix and an\u2026 antenna, and YouTube.\u201d Dish could possibly use Aereo to build a cheaper TV bundle by bypassing retransmission payments to local broadcasters \u2014 or maybe just lower these payments by threatening such a course.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure to check out our <a
