Ok lets put this to rest right now. The 622/722 will NOT be disabled, or any other Dish dvr for that matter. These receivers have been running different software for a long time now. This software is not the software that is targeted in the suit.
I can just see this thread ballooning with people thinking their DVRs are going to be turned off. This will not happen.

OMG ZOMG ZOMG...
They're going to turn off our DVRs!
Ok I'm kidding, but I know there will be 9,000 posts on here now saying that. There is no chance E* will allow their DVRs to be turned off, can you imagine the mass exodus that would follow?
They will come up with some kind of deal to pay Tivo (still lame Tivo won, goodbye COMPETITION!) and our DVRs will continue to work.

I have had a DVR with Dish since they started offering them. I am locked into a 24 month agreement for another 19 months. I swear if they pull the DVR's out from under us, I will be forced to defect to DirecTV. I signed a conrtact for service with a DVR, if they pull it, then they are the ones who cant fulfill the contract and I wont pay the cancellation fees
Who knows?
This was issued Monday, and it was monday evening all of a sudden new National HD rollout was changed. I don't see any logical reason to tie these two, but these days everything at Dish defies logic.

Glad you spoke up about this, I was one of the ones that would be balooning this thread...THANKS!!!
I remember when I called DirecTV to set service up for my mother and law, the CSR asked me which provider I use. When I told her Dish she went on to tell me things like,"you know that you are not going to be able to use your DVR when Dish loses the law suite with TIVO", all in an attempt to jump ship then, but I did not do so
The National rollout was changed?
We didn't get National HD's this week, just like last week and the week before. Not much has changed. I wouldn't buy into; DISH was going to now they are not. I am more apt to believe the intelligence was faulty.
But either way E* is in dire straights.
At exactly 2:30 PM EST, everybody who feels like I do about these kind of posts, go outside and SCREAM!!
This denial is no surprise at all, there was nothing new to consider a re-hearing.
The software infringement was upheld, and hardware infringement was overturned.
The current injunction specifics only the older DVR’s up to the 942 model, not the 622 and 722 or other newer ones.
DISH cannot escape the fine estimated at about $150 million including interest. But the injunction is hard to say because of the rule on the hardware infringement.
If DISH can prove their new software no longer infringes, along with the fact their hardware also is non-infringing for now (it will likely take Tivo to have a new trial to bring back this issue), then things can actually work against Tivo not DISH.

If you are 5 months into your contract then you are only committed for 18 months. The 24 month contract began on February 1st.
Your sarcasm didn't fail most of us.I wasn't panicking. It was just a failed attempt at sarcasm.
