TiVo vs EchoStar - TiVo Wins

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the set-top-battles dept.

ssuchter writes "A jury just ruled in favor of TiVo in their suit against EchoStar, awarding TiVo $73M of the $87M they asked for. From the article: 'TiVo had sought $87 million in damages from the Dish satellite-TV network in a patent dispute that TiVo lawyers said could be "life or death" for the company that sold the first box for pausing and rewinding live television.'"

    This is good, because I own a bit of stock in TIVO, and I now stand to make a good bit of money.
