You do realize that Dish only bought Sling, they didn't design it, don't you?

Yes, I had been following Sling for quite a while before the first slingbox came out. If I recall, the guy who started the company wanted to watch N.Y. Giants games while he was on the road. Originally Posted by Tyralak

Also, about the patent that TiVo has - I have no idea if they have a patent or not on sling-type technology. I thought we were all just making stuff up for the fun of it. Originally Posted by Tyralak

Here is the result of my USPTO search on the new Tivo patent number:
United States Patent: 7529465

Don't worry, Charlie will just spend millions of subscriber $ to fight it.
I thought he was looking to save you money? Isn't that why you keep losing channels? Maybe he does it to help fund these court cases.

hey...who cares? I've been saying three things all along:
1. Tivo is an unethical company.
2. The legal system is fundamentally flawed and is just a game.
3. The patent system is fundamentally flawed.
and this latest patent is the incontrovertible proof!
so I'm loving this right now...
