ADVERTS 1
Business and competition are perfectly fine. We like those. Tivo failed at both. I don't know where you are coming up with squealing all this 'stealing' jibberish. Tivo expects Dish to pay for their failure...THATS the real crime...

How would you like it if you worked and couldn't get paid for it, every time that you did something someone stole everything you spent your money on and you never saw anything from it? If you would like that, please leave your address and will see if someone can't accommodate you.
If you are attempting to make a point using a false analogy, or even attempting to prove something correct based on nothing more than a flimsy moral highground, than I guess you are just going to have to accept the fact that you are basing your position on logical fallacy and are thus...well...wrong. Sorry.
(You are joking, right? Tivo didn't work hard to invent the PC...lmao...)

Too bad DISH had to steal to be able to get a working DVR.

Tivo stole from Replay, but I don't see you complaining about that. I guess it's ok when tivo does it. Originally Posted by Mike0616 So stealing is OK?

If TiVo builds a Dish Network DVR with TiVo service without DISH's consent, TiVo would be breaking the law.
Can we please get this back on topic?

When DISH kept that prototype, they used it to create their DVR (They were found guilty of this). Without that, what would they have now a DISHPlayer?

This is why I think that $1 Billion is not unreasonable. How much did DISH profit from this action?
