    DISH expected to settle with TiVo.

    Talk to virtually anyone, as in the hundreds as I have on message boards, they all say the same thing. Anyone who has ever owned a TIVO wants to keep a TIVO, compared to all the other DVR's.

    DISH expected to settle with TiVo.

    TIVO has a poison pill blockade against hostile take overs. It gets triggered if anyone buys more than 15 percent of TIVO. While I am not sure how much cost that would add to the takeover, TIVO has 89 patents and another 109 pending patent approval. I have no trouble believing that their patent...

    I am sure that what you meant to say is that fantastically reliable awesome TIVO software that never has to reboot, that you cannot wait to get. :D:D:D:D

    DISH expected to settle with TiVo.

    The 9.3 software up is very fast. Clunky? What does that even mean? The circus noises as you describe are easy to turn off. It takes 10 seconds to do it and they never come again unless you turn them back on. Now throw out some more VERY LAME excuses and I will debunk those too.

    DISH expected to settle with TiVo.

    Wrong. DirecTV currently pays TIVO 92 cents per month per subscription. With all tha hassle DISH has created for TIVO, I believe TIVO will demand at least $1.50. $1.50 per month times 5 million DISH DVR's = 7.5 million per month. That is 22.5 million per quarter. TIVO lost 6.5 million last...

    Yeah, I know, I read that in 2006 at the end of the first trial. Here is the link. Estimates for how many DVR's Dish has in service used to be 4.4 million but that was at the end of the first trial. Now it is believed it is more like 5 million. So when you guys said nobody has to worry about...

    Volume One, Show Twenty-Three.

    I do not need to listen again because I have been aware of that since the first day Dish announced the new software. It happened the day after Dish lost the appeal trial. Funny that they never mentioned new software before that, even though they said they had downloaded the new software to the...

    Volume One, Show Twenty-Three.

    In this podcast there are all kinds of wrong. You say that Dish will not have to shut down their DVR's. That is simply wrong. The injunction went into effect on April 18. 2008 and on April 21 the appeal ruling, which Dish lost, made its way to the docket of the district court where Judge Folsom...
