After you run a piece of paper through a printer and then handle it, even a little, it isn't suitable to run through the printer again. Usually it causes jams.
~$600-$700 for the 60 gig model is a lot for a video game console but how much did you expect the first gen Blue Ray player to cost anyway? The 1st 2 HD-DVD players were $500 & $900+. I'd call that a decent price for a Blue Ray player with an awesome video game console thrown in.
On an old show called "Beyond 2000", in about 1990, I saw a working demo of a 3D environment. A lot like early FPS's, you could see a C.G. person from 3rd person perspective. The C.G.P. was walking around his environment being controlled by a real persons thoughts, I think they just had some kind of clip on there finger. I have often wondered where that technology had gone and why we weren't seeing it in the mid-late 90's. Better late than never I guess.
EchoStar Statement Regarding VERDICT IN TiVo Inc. v. EchoStar Communications Corp. LAWSUIT
April 13, 2006 - This is the first step in a very long process and we are confident we will ultimately prevail. Among other things, we believe the patent - as interpreted in this case - is overly broad given the technology in existence when TiVo filed its patent. We believe the decision will be reversed either through post-trial motions or on appeal. Additionally, the Patent Office is in the process of re-examining TiVo's patent, having determined there is a substantial question concerning the validity of the patent.
DISH Network subscribers can continue to use the receivers in their homes, including their DVRs. Furthermore, TiVo dropped their claim that EchoStar's Dishplayer 7200 DVR infringes their patent.
I understand what your saying, but I wonder if the only reason the first generation didn't allow you to watch one thing and record another at the time was due to limitations in computing power at that time. Receivers of the 90's were very slow and limited in functionality regardless of DVR abilities.
I am a professional Sat. Dish Installer. inc. Dish, Direct, Starband, Wild Blue C-band... I have been installing for almost 10 years and seen the progression of the TiVo/DVR from the beginning.
Starting with the 7100/7200 (admittedly P.O.S.) then the 501, 508, 510 all 3 the same machine w/1 tuner just bigger HD's 35hr, 60hr, 100hr respectively. Then came the 721 and the 921(HD) which had 2 tuners but both were glitchy. Finally the 522 (SD) follow by the 625 (SD), 942 (HD) and the current top of the line 622 (HD&MPEG4). The final group are all virtually the same in operation with 2 tuners designed to run 2 TV's (with different programming on each) and are the first and only Echostar receivers to have name based recording, where it will search for a show by name instead of just using preset times.
I am surprised that TiVo won this case. Dish network had the 7100/7200 which could pause and record live TV before TiVo's patent. It may have been a piece of shit but it was still first. Obviously Echostars product would improve over time and the similarities of the current models are logical advance in the technologies.

I think it was just a typo.
When MS tried to trademark the word "Windows", they failed as I believe WalMart will.
For the hack to fix this.

I fail to see the impact of this on an essentially square envelope

"The patent also suggests that the system could offer viewers the chance to pay a fee interactively to go back to skipping adverts."
I already pay a monthly $80 "fee" for TV, does that count for anything?

let me check the Bible to see if it's true or not.
Problem with this is, it requires "International Cooperation".
It's easy if you use the U.S. model.:
If your not with us, your against us,
If your against us we'll blow you up.
This is the United States Government were talking about, why spend a few hundred on a mule when you can build one for a few hundred million?
I wonder what category it would go under?
