The issue is that they'd need an agreement with these stations. They don't need one with, say, NBC, because NBC is broadcasting their content over the air, and Aereo's arrays of tiny antennas are all receiving them. To do a similar thing for a cable station you'd need one cable subscription per user, which is pretty likely to wreck their business model. Third-tier stations looking for more viewers are more likely to license their stuff cheaply.
