Courts Side With TiVo Against EchoStar

The Washington, D.C., court of appeals upheld an earlier ruling that EchoStar Communications infringed on a DVR software patent owned by TiVo.

The court's decision "will have no effect on our current or future customers because EchoStar's engineers have developed and deployed next-generation DVR software to our customers' DVRs," Dish said in an official statement. The software update went out to customers "several months ago," according to Dish spokeswoman Kathie Gonzalez.
