Soon.

 

[riffjim4069]

It should be interesting to find out how the judge rules in this case...

 

[space86]

Is there any chance my Vip 722 would have to be shut off because of the lawsuit?

 

[VinceT3]

if their DVRs get shut down.. most likely so would dish as a company..

No.

 

[flyingsquirrel]

Is there a chance? Sure. But Small. Based on today's dribs and drabs from the hearing, I would expect a settlement or other type of transactions ... wait for it ... soon.

TMF: More from Mike / TiVo, Inc. (TIVO)

No.

The article I read said that the judge will be deciding whether to force the shutdown of millions of DVRs....so I'd say YES, its very possible.

Everything I've seen indicates this is VERY unlikely...NOT very possible...

Wouldn't count too much on what just one article says...after all articles have still been coming out trying to say that all tv will be HD by next Feb...

A contempt ruling would only impact the DVR models named in the case. The ViP722 is not one of the named models.

ahhh, i didnt know that. thanks for the clarification. I was getting a little worried there for while.

I don't think the 722,622,or 612 is effected by this.

it isn't. don't worry. i think the 942 is one of them. it's old stuff.

 

[harshness]

The following models were named by TiVo:

Models DP-501, 508, 510, 721, 921, 522, 625, and 942

FYI - Dish can turn off all DVR features without causing it to stop functioning as a satellite receiver.

For example, when the hard disk of a 50x DVR fails, it continues to tune satellite channels just like a 301 receiver.

i think my sister has a 522 in her room. she won't be happy.

 

[Hemi 6.1]

Yea I kind of thought that 625 was in there. Thank god a Bought a 612 instead. I was really close to getting a 625 to replace my 622.. (when I briefly dropped HD) But lack of Hardrive space kept me from it.

No Ruling

I guess this will drag on a little longer. CNN/Money is reporting that the judge failed to rule in favor of either party today...

No, it most certainly cannot.
