Dish to Disable DVRs?

A United Stated District Court in Texas has rules that Dish Network must disable all infringing DVR features within 30 days.

Dish can try apealing the ruling. Whats this mean for consumers? SatelliteGuys.US has calls in to Dish Network seeking further comment.

IMPORTANT ALERT - ECHOSTAR ANNOUNCES FEDERAL CIRCUIT BLOCKS TIVO INJUNCTION
EchoStar Communications Corporation issued the following statement regarding recent developments in the Tivo Inc. v. EchoStar Communications Corp. lawsuit:

“We are pleased that this morning, the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C. temporarily blocked an injunction issued by a Texas Court, while it considers a longer-term stay of that injunction.

As a result of the stay EchoStar can continue to sell, and provide to consumers, all of its digital video recorder models. We continue to believe the Texas decision was wrong, and should be reversed on appeal. We also continue to work on modifications to our new DVRs, and to our DVRs in the field, intended to avoid future alleged infringement.”
