D* pays TiVo somewhere in the $3M/mo. range, so yes it is a lot of money. But if I had to guess, TiVo will want those $1 per month retroactive back to when E* began infringing. I personally think it would be in E*'s best interest to pay a reasonable amount to TiVo to settle provided that E*...

D* pays TiVo about $1 per DVR sub. And that price includes maintenance/upgrades etc. So a pure license should be no more than that, probably less.

We could only hope.:(

Plus, many of D*'s DNS subs from the early years were provided their DNS by a third-party company named Primetime 24. D* was just a conduit for them. By the time the case rolled around, Primetime 24 was history and D* shut off a bunch of DNS subs as required by the court.

Well, Comcast has cut a deal with Tivo, so they are probably safe for now. But with the E* victory, assuming it stands, they will systematically go after other infringing units. The probably picked E* to go first since they knew had stolen their technology, or maybe TiVo gave it to them and...

No. D* cut a deal in their last agreement with TiVo that TiVo would not come after D* for patent infringement. So TiVo gets about $36M per year for 3 more years to look the other way. D* pays TiVo around $1 per sub. So even if E* had to pay a royalty, it would be no where near the...

But how happy will D* be if they have to pay E* a couple million bucks a month royalty? :eek: I speculated early on that if E* lost, they would make a deal to aquire TiVo. They would steal a bunch of subs from D* especially if they provided full features like HMO and MRV. D* needs to...

For re-wiring my current house, I used Belden 1583A (1585A is Plenum version) for network applications and the Home Depot CAT5e for telephone and IR. You really can tell the difference between them. Twists are per inch.

Yes to separate OTA over a diplexed solution. You posted this in the E* forum, but if you ever go to D*, their new AT9 dish doesn't allow for diplexers. So yes, run a separate line. Are they needed, No. Are they the best solution, Yes. I have all compression fittings, but mainly because I...

Does anyone hear the big sucking sound out of Denver? D* subs will jumping ship to E* since Denver has almost no OTA. E* will beat D* by 2 months on this one. Whoever gave D* the keys to the Kingdom sure didn't tell them what to do with them.

Encore shut down their HD channel last March. He must have meant StarZ.

I currently have an 811 that is subbed to the HD package only. When D* adds TNT-HD next week, I will have no use for the 811. I understand that D* won't activate HD on it anymore, but I have a friend who has E* HD and would like to be able to give it to him if he can activate it on his...

Does anyone know what kind of concessions E* is going to make to customers with 811's. I was over at a friends house yesterday helping him get his antenna pointed so he can get the Superbowl in HD. He just had E* installed shortly after X-mas. (It was a present from his wife.) He has a 625...

Thank you! :)

Thanks for the replies. :) Is there a website I can go to an get the rough pointing coordinates for my zip code? I need to check line of sight before I try to get everything set up. My zip is 25526. Thanks.

So I need one of these: http://www.dishstore.net/product_info.php?cPath=41&products_id=82 I know I need to keep the HD pak, I just didn't know if I had to keep a receiver with access to 110. Looks like I will get one of these and add my old D* dish. Does the 811 have the software to be...

I am currently an E* HD sub. That is all I have from E* as my main TV programming comes from D*. I got the E* HD pak so I could get TNT-HD for the NASCAR races. I am using an 811 with an old DISH 500 and only running the 110 LNB with no multiswitch. Now that TNT has no more NASCAR races...
