EchoStar wins round over TiVo


July 01, 2009 The patent battle between TiVo and EchoStar shows no signs of letup. On Wednesday, EchoStar said a district court's injunction demanding it disable millions of DVRs used by its Dish customers has been blocked. TiVo and EchoStar have been duking it out for almost six years, with TiVo awarded about $207 million so far due to patent infringements, but the big prize for TiVo remains elusive -- that being the forcing of EchoStar into a licensing arrangement with TiVo in order to prevent having to shut down Dish DVRs.
