A court has already ruled that EchoStar DVR hardware does not violate any TiVo patents.
In order for EchoStar's DVR hardware to not violate TiVo's patents, it must thereby be possible for EchoStar to have software which does not infringe.
So, it would illogical to rule that changing the software could not possibly remove the infringement.
It would be like saying " your company's new car model does not infringe any patents as long as you don't put a motor in it ". Such a claim is nonsensical.
PS The notice above also means that nothing will happen before September 4 (regarding this TiVo dispute).
