``Today, DISH Network and EchoStar filed a lawsuit against Tivo asking a Delaware court to find that our new DVR software does not infringe Tivo's '389 patent. The lawsuit is in response to Tivo's continued public statements that our new DVR software infringes.
``This action is independent of Tivo's anticipated motion for contempt in the Eastern District of Texas. We believe any contempt motion by Tivo should be denied because we are in full compliance with the injunction.''
