Anyone with legal knowledge about how services like this and https://www.locast.org/ are able to operate?

It doesn't seem significantly different to me than the aereo tv situation.

Very cool project!

In the case of Locast, part of the Aereo ruling was that it was a for profit service. Locast is able to do this because they are not charging the end user.

IANAL but in Europe, for such streams to be legal you need to use them in reach of the Hertzian signals of TVs.

See about VCast for example. https://www.nextinpact.com/news/105549-lextension-copie-priv...
