Interesting read especially what was said in the judges chambers. Sounds like this might work in Dish favor..

Sounds good to me.

Considering how hard DirectTV went after people with "cards" the past few years, I hope they get nailed harder than a working girl during fleet week.

I would love for NDS to be smacked hard by the court.

Looks like Charlie is having a better week.

DirecTV has nothing to do with this. It took place years before Murdoch bought into DirecTV and he no longer owns any of DirecTV.

WHO CARES?? AS LONG AS DISH WIN BILLIONS!! Now Charlie will have the money to get us all of the HD that is out their.

While DirecTV is not a party in the matter they are still involved.

If you believe Echostar's version of things DirecTV was looking into dumping NDS and going with Nagra for their CAS. It is during the the time period that this was taking place the NDS leaked the secrets for the Nagra cards. DirecTV stayed with NDS. And the rest is history.

Now if DirecTV wouldn't have been in talks with Nagra would have NDS leaked the Nagra code?

Just to connect the dots, NDS is part of News Corporation which also owns Fox so if folks wonder why Dish doesn't have certain programming such as Speed in HD it maybe because of this lawsuit.

 

[LhasaApso]

Could this be a reason why DISH Network still does not carry Fox Business Network?

The reason that Speed HD and Fox Business are not E* is due to this lawsuit over tier placement of FNC. http://www.satelliteguys.us/dish-network-forum/118128-fox-news-sues-echostar.html

 

[BrianHD]

I don't know much about this lawsuit but I do know competition is good for the consumer. I highly doubt any of the money won would into making E* better for us.

Interesting item about this lawsuit on ABC's Nightline which just finished airing. It's on the Nightline website (not yet in video, if they'll add it). Read here: ABC News: Lack of Murdoch Testimony Could Cost NewsCorp a Fortune.

Ahhhh. Hundreds of millions. Or maybe one on station satellite? :

In the closing arguments, they accused DISH doing the same thing with a convicted hacker.

Sounds like the same argument my students always make when they get caught doing something wrong, "Well they did it too. Why didn't they get in trouble?"
