Wow, I am glad my DVR equipment is made b TiVo and not some no-name brand.

TiVo.com | about TiVo Inc:
After several years of expensive litigation, in April 2006, EchoStar's DVR products were found by a jury to be infringing one of TiVo's patents. TiVo is pleased that a federal court has recognized that TiVo's business will be irreparably harmed if EchoStar were allowed to continue to infringe TiVo's patent. Any shutdown of DVR functionality for existing DISH Network customers is entirely and directly due to EchoStar's infringement of TiVo's patent rights.


I would hate to be subscribing to a service and suddenly have the DVR they gave me cut out, or something like that.
