Dish Network Corp. and EchoStar Corp. asked an appeals court to throw out a lower court's order that the companies stop using a digital-video recording service that the court had said infringes a TiVo Inc. patent.
Barring Dish and EchoStar's service "is not a meaningful remedy," Seth Waxman, an attorney for the companies, told a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington.
Dish, the second-biggest U.S. satellite-television provider, was ordered to shut down its DVR service by U.S. District Judge David Folsom in Marshall, Texas, who ruled June 2 that it continues to infringe a patent owned by TiVo, a pioneer of digital-video recording services.
The appeals court later said it would allow Dish's customers with their digital-video recorders to continue using the service while company appealed Folsom's ruling.

First off, the above news report did not even get the attorney's name right, Mr. Waxman was TiVo's attorney, not E*'s.
Second, anyone who has listened to the oral argument audio clip will tell you it does not look good for TiVo. If you do not believe me, just go read the TiVo investors' forums, when you see those investors trashing Judge Rader calling him a moron and clueless, you know something was up
I just hope they realize Judge Rader is Judge Folsom's boss.

In other words, he is in the wrong place and wrong time to ask those questions He sounded like someone who just arrived from Mars, even you had missed him on the way here, Voyager
So a few pointers for you. Earthly creatures are operated by emotions, the same facts can yield entirely different opinions on Earth, by creatures of equally high credentials, and late comers on Earth usually get what is left, which often times is something much less than nothing.

I already said, on the ground that the TiVo investors did not like what they heard
Seriously, this is Judge Rader's words at the beginning of the hearing:
"Infringing is all we can enjoin, of course!"
He then grilled the E* attorney why E* did not bring the issue to the appeals court during the last appeal. Had E* tried to clarify the issue, "we could have with a stroke of our pen [ordered the injunction vacated and/or modified]..."
E*'s response of course was, why? Based on our interpretation, the injunction only enjoined the "Infringing Products", why would we have imagined anything else and needed to clarify it?
Judge Rader then grilled the TiVo attorney mostly on the design around issue, asking him how could TiVo say the PID filter analyzed the audio and video data when the data were scrambled before they hit the PID filter? The response was, but not all data were scrambled.
By such response, Judge Rader got the TiVo attorney to admit the PID filter could not analyze audio and video data if the data were scrambled. That admission alone refutes TiVo's contention the PID filter analyzes audio and video data. That IMHO should be enough to throw out TiVo's infringement theory.
Not a single word about the sanctions. You would think if the appeals court had any inclination to uphold Judge Folsom's ruling, they would at least asked parties' positions on how much should be the right amount of the sanctions? Draw your own conclusion on that one.
Not a word of it. Is it even necessary?
There has never been any intention by the court to impose a compulsory licensing agreement.

Over the past few weeks, I have had problems connecting to streaming services (Netflix, HBO et al). When I go to the TV's native Channels, I have no problem. The Dish internet troubleshooter shows I have a good internet connection. I'm wondering whether it's an issue with my internet provider or a problem with the Dish software on the Hopper Plus. Anyone else seeing this?

It states the average amount they are under water is OVER $7,000. 
Personally, I tend to be the type that drives a vehicle for a lot of years....do my own oil changes and other fluid changes. Just replaced the spark plugs and a couple coils. Youtube is great for things like this.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Lately my eight year old Dell laptop has been shutting off even when I have a full battery. I have had to keep it plugged up all the time to keep this from happening. Any idea what is causing this? I replaced the battery about three years ago.

I set up a music server for my brother a few years ago. It's basically a small headless computer but it needs to have a DHCP IP address reserved for it in the router settings. This was easy to do in his DSL router. He's switching to Starlink now and I was wondering if these setting are easily accessible in the Starlink router. I'm pretty sure he will be getting the latest V5 router.

If you can restrict the DHCP address space to assign addresses to one end of the subnet (i.e. x.x.x.50+), you can manually assign the IP address on pretty much any operating system. This is a default behavior on several popular routers. As the Router Mini only supports 235 devices, I expect that's already done.
Another option is to use a router that supports PoE to power the antenna. This article discusses that option (under PoE Power heading):
