DISH Network and EchoStar Statement Regarding Tivo
June 3, 2009: We are pleased that the Federal Appeals Court in Washington temporarily stayed the district court's order in the Tivo litigation. DISH Network customers can continue using their DVRs. We believe that we have strong grounds for appeal.
June 2, 2009: We are disappointed in the district court's decision finding us in contempt. DISH Network will appeal, and will file a motion to stay the order with the Federal Circuit. We believe a stay is warranted and that we have strong grounds for appeal. Our engineers spent close to a year designing-around Tivo's patent and removed the very features that Tivo said infringed at trial. Existing DISH Network customers with DVRs are not immediately impacted by these recent developments.
