DISH Network and EchoStar Statement Regarding TiVo
ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Jan 13, 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX News Network/ --
DISH Network Corporation (Nasdaq: DISH) and EchoStar Corporation (Nasdaq: SATS) issued the following statement regarding recent developments in the TiVo Inc. v. EchoStar Communications Corp. lawsuit:
"We are pleased that the Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) granted our Petition for Re-Examination of the software claims of TiVo's '389 patent, which are the subject of TiVo's current motion for contempt. The PTO found that there is a 'substantial new question' of patentability as to the software claims in light of prior patents that appear to render TiVo's '389 patent invalid as obvious."

>Loose=not tight, as in: Babette's garter is really loose and she may lose it.
>Lose=don't have it anymore, as in: Babette will lose her garter because it is really loose.
>Could care less=you can actually care less even more than what you do now.
>Couldn't care less=there is absolutely no more caring that can be cared about.

Sounds like good news for E* (aka Dish Network). Hopefully E* will start schlocking their award winning VIP HD DVRs (622/722/922) to the Cable Cartel and free us from the likes of Motorola, Scientific-Atlanta...and Tivo too. We need more choice...and better HD DVRs would certainly be welcomed!

I think there is another hearing scheduled for sometime in February. I'm not sure whether the PTO's change of heart will affect it or not. I would assume Chuck's legal team will try for a postponement, but I'm not a lawyer.

And the next question is, when will the contract expire and how much NFL will want to raise its prices before Charlie pulls them off the air?
