Interesting article...found here:

Seems the Tivo folks believe that they have patents on "the method used to allow viewers to record one program while watching another" and "the storage format that supports advanced ``TrickPlay'' capabilities such as pausing live television, rewinding and slow motion".

Think this will affect Dish PVRs?
