Dish Network is about to transfer a huge chunk of change to TiVo, Inc. It’s not a new partnership or a stock swap - instead Dish has to pay $104 million plus interest for patent infringement. TiVo won this case several years ago - then lost a long series of appeals. The US Supreme Court refused to hear the case, meaning Dish will be force to fork over the cash. Dish has already found a ...

After getting resoundly swatted in court by Tivo time and again for walking all over its patent for a "multimedia time warping system" (cool retro-future speak for a DVR), Echostar (now just Dish) is finally admitting defeat once and for all. Following its loss to TiVo in a US Appeals court earlier this year, Echostar appealed to the Supreme Court, which just decided not to hear the case, leaving Echostar nowhere else to turn. So ...

Filed under: Industry, DVRs, Satellite Bust out the forks, because it looks like the long-running dispute between DISH and TiVo is coming to an end (yes, again). The Supreme Court denied DISH's appeal in the DVR "time-warp" patent infringement case and in the next few day DISH will release $104 million ($94 million plus interest) from an escrow account to TiVo to cover damages stretching back to September 8, 2006. The dust isn't all settled, ...

Jeff Bercovici submits: Maybe it's the white-knuckle anxiety everyone feeling over the economy, but the happy talk that's usually so prevalent at the American Magazine Conference is somewhat less in evidence this year. Whereas last year's conference had a distinct band-playing-on-the-Titanic feeling to it, this time around it seems like speakers are at least beginning to really grapple with the industry's challenges. Exhibit A: Portfolio managing editor Dan Colarusso -- a.k.a. the boss of me ...

Ars got their hands on Nero's freshly-announced LiquidTV/TiVo PC team-up, and thought the TiVo software and Hauppauge TV Tuner hardware was a good experience for $200 ($100 for software only). They looked not only at how the UI functioned in the PC environment, but also at export options, content exchange, and hardware performance. Here's what they liked and didn't like.

The Infinite Abyss blog has some pretty amazing screenshots and video of a potential new TiVo interface with plenty of details about each. If this is true, it's certainly breaking loads of nondisclosure agreements that testers must abide, if false it's still a pretty interesting and convincing new direction that TiVo could someday take. I love the preview of each top level menu's options (seems like a time-saver when you're hunting for a specific function) ...

New features seem pretty sparse, though there will be some limited video export capability ...
