As a Dish Network subscriber, I am quite happy they are finally bringing this case to a close. I am so sick of it, I can’t stand it.
Dish Network Corp and EchoStar Corp will pay $104 million in damages to TiVo Inc after the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday denied Dish’s appeal of a patent infringement case.
The court’s decision not to review an appellate court’s ruling follows years of legal wrangling over TiVo’s “Time Warp” software that allows users to record one television program while watching another via a digital video recorder.
One thing I have noticed, since Dish Network switched to their own “work-around” software, my DVR locks up more, has more errors, and well, just sucks. Coincidence? Probably not.
