Given the size of Marshall TX, I doubt they have a lot of attorneys who reside there and more likely, DirecTV hires "big-time" lawyers from NY, Chicago, etc, etc.
There are many places the documents produced from this proceeding are available. So if something was mentioned in court, it is more than likely public, unless it was a proceeding in chambers that had to be left off the transcript.Scott Greczkowski said:I have been talking with folks from Dish who have been taking notice of some of the stuff posted here, some of the stuff which I am told has never been made public and has only been mentioned in court.
So if your wondering where some of these guys are pulling their facts from, I believe we may now have our answer.
I have been watching for the past few days and have been watching the Pro Tivo folks that just signed up here in the last few days. What I find interesting is all of them are from the same area in Texas...
Isn't that where the Tivo Trial and lawsuit has been taking place?
If thats the case then I guess I would like to welcome the Tivo legal team to SatelliteGuys.
I just find it funny that all of these guys are coming out of the woodwork since the injunction has been announced as experts. I have been talking with folks from Dish who have been taking notice of some of the stuff posted here, some of the stuff which I am told has never been made public and has only been mentioned in court.
And that concerns Dish Network? Court case transcripts are public, by nature. As one of the biggest fanboy sites (and that is a compliment), did Dish Network believe no one would ever look back at the court transcripts?Scott Greczkowski said:have been talking with folks from Dish who have been taking notice of some of the stuff posted here, some of the stuff which I am told has never been made public and has only been mentioned in court.
I'm sure Dish would rather customers, employees, etc believe their re-wording of the decisions so that their "spin" is what most people see/read. I'm not saying Dish's version is a flat-out lie either but they do do it to put it in more understandable language.And that concerns Dish Network? Court case transcripts are public, by nature.

After all, this is the only thread in the Dish Network forum dedicated to the TiVo v. Echostar lawsuit. There cannot be that many people arguing about this injunction and suit, since this thread is only 63 replies long now, and the only one in existence.
A) Again, you DVR functionality isn't going anywhere and
2) You won't get out of the contract no matter how much you cry. You might want to go back and read the thing you signed.
Oh, it's over there? As Elvis said, it may as well be, "In the Ghetto".
It isn't every day a company gets hit with an injunction in full force and effect, yet there is only one active post covering it in the Dish Network forums.
Truth is, legally, DISH/SATS has a long road to travel. The question is whether or not the judge will give DISH/SATS enough time to prove their case.

Well, NightRyder, I'll be inclined to agree with that. We shall see what TiVo files sometime just after 16 May. That's when things will get interesting.Until we get some more real news this is pretty much a dead issue

Well you and the other guy are doing a hell of a job SPAMMING it to death, so there's really no need for another one.
We should start a letter writing campain to Judge Folsum. We should present the issue that we bought the DVRs personally (for those not leasing them) and why should we have to suffer a personal loss because Dish has to disable them. If you buy any other item where there is a patent dispute they do not come to your house and take it away, or disable it.
When you buy a computer the majority of the software, if not all of it, belongs to the manufacturer, i.e. Microsoft, who can revoke the license and leave you with just the hardware. I believe is it the same with Dish software.
