Although I don't agree with Fox on this issue, Dish networks track record of loosing in litigation is an issue that cannot be ignored.
It's very likely dish could loose, and then what do you do with a hopper that no longer works as advertised?
I'm not concerned and doubt anything drastic will happen. These networks need to get with the times and change the business model instead of scrambling to keep this dinosaur of a model . It's 2013, times change, technology changes...and companies change and adapt accordingly but for some reasons these networks feel they don't need to? Stupidity in my opinion.
