TiVo vs. EchoStar, round 3
Forbes has an article about TiVo's Ups And Downs. Here is a quick timeline to catch most of us up who don't bother to keep up with the latest from the court battle between EchoStar and TiVo.

In April, a jury in Texas found that EchoStar had infringed on TiVo's "Time Warp" patent, which relates to simultaneous recording and playback of TV programming.

Last week a U.S. District Court judge in eastern Texas required EchoStar to disable DVRs installed in the homes of more than three million Dish subscribers within 30 days. The judge also ordered EchoStar to pay TiVo about $74 million in damages awarded, plus $15.9 million for supplemental damages and interest.

Alas, that victory was met with a Swift setback. The next morning the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals granted a stay on that decision.
