If I order 2 Hoppers and 4 Joes, do I get two slings built in? If so can two mobile devices play each Sling at the same time? If only one Sling for the account, can Sling play from both Hoppers? What is the minimum upload speed needed for Sling to work properly? As far as networking, can I...

VOOM wasn't in the right by any measure either. There was no programming at the end of the carriage on Dish, they were offered a 5-channel deal, a deal no other provider, including DirecTV would even consider valuable, but VOOM rejected it. Continued to carry VOOM would be throwing money down...

What could have been the proper way?

Having the history of the industry hiking prices on your side is not much a foresight, or much a hindsight. I suspect a lot of people like Dish for the innovative technologies and programming provided in the past. They came at certain expenses. If you want to be on the cutting edge, you need...

Actually I never said you subs all won:). A lot of these litigations were dragged on at the expense of the subs to some extent. You get the good, along with the ugly, in one package. I am happy for you of course, now you all can see dead people:)

Do you even have any concept of betting? A prediction of a settlement is like predicting we all going to die one day. All those litigations thrown against him, all had incredible odds of winning, but he managed to come out ahead most times. Settlement in his favor, against all odds, by...

You seem to be of the logic, since we can't say for sure we know exactly everything had happened, therefore there cannot be any bets others made that matters, even though some of the posters here predicted far more close than you two had ever been able to, because of your 100% one-sided bias...

Chances are they say $80M on paper just to save Cablevision's face. Charlie could have just got the $200M he offered after all.

$620M is smack in the middle of $200M and $1B, proved that analyst and his source was more accurate than your beloved star analyst which said very likely $1B, of course even more so than both of you two that claimed Charlie was going to craw to AMC ask for mercy. Who needs a break? Are you two...

Pretty sure any settlement has provision that AMC withdraws the case. It is a civil case, there is no case if parties ask to withdraw.

Didn't Mr.4069 say they needed the judge's approval first?:)

$700M cash including Dish getting some wireless licenses cover 45 DMAs. It is fair to say the VOOM's star attorney is crap crap crap crap:), at least as far as Mr.4069 is concerned.

The $500M Dish settled with TiVo included $300M it reserved for the lawsuit, and $30M a year for the following 7 years to license TiVo's patents. It wasn't any loss if you look at it this way, Dish actually got away with paying a lot less than had they simply, as most analysts suggested...

Interestingly had you bothered to analyze it more, both analysts are pretty much saying the same. One is likely saying a source indicated a settlement discussion is on-going to work out a deal between $200M and $1B. Another is saying it is very likely a settlement of $1B could be had. I don't...

Judging by how confident you are of VOOM's case, and how much high regard you have for their lead attorney, I'd say if they take your minimum $800-900M, you have no choice but call the attorney crap crap:)

Anyone who reads this thread knows I am not a legal scholar, the fact you think you need to know enough about the law to figure that out, just underscores how clueless you are:) I never quoted any analysts, unlike Mr4069, but since he missed this one, I thought to bring it up. It turned out...

The problem is, as someone pointed out, VOOM no longer exists, and any rights to those content were likely expired. I don't think rights to the contents are transferable anyway.

So you think the analyst was full of crap? May I assume from now on you will no longer post all those endless quotes from the analysts?:)

Why? All TiVo deals were made public, $0 from Microsoft, $200M from ATT, $500M from Dish with all legal costs included, $500M from Verizon. Verizon actually had the worst deal.

How do you see it, $200M to $1B as well?

Now I know why you had reached that conclusion, because you have no clue what I was talking about, and also no clue how a civil trial works most times. BTW, another analyst reported an on-going settlement talk, and put the possible amount between $200M to $1B.

I think Scott was referring to the mistake the court made by filing the "poss settlement" entry on the court docket today. The court clerk had said it was a mistake. Did I mention "market manipulation?" Even the appearance of it can be problematic, although a mistrial from that action, I don't...

Although unlikely, it is still possible someone jumped the gun made the update, only to be told by the lawyer to put it back because the agreement was not finalized.

How did you even come up with such conclusion is beyond me.

It is equally dangerous to assume the real people will not apply their own experiences in the real world, rather with such a clear focus, looking at the language and language alone, but ignore the end results.
