SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Cable and satellite companies were mixed Thursday morning, with EchoStar Communications (DISH) down 7 percent at $28.53 after Bloomberg reported that the Securities and Exchange Commission has launched an investigation of possible accounting improprieties.

...glad I sold a few weeks ago at 33+.
Charlie lost my confidence in his ability to run the company, he sure didn't have a clue about what the equipment they sold was capable of doing. :river
Hope he gets his act together for the sake of all the customers and employees

RE: The Tivo suit: Now we now the real reson NBR isn't here yet.
Tivo, on Offense: "Dish's DVRs are a blatent copy of this fine Tivo Patented DVR. See? You can Pause Live Video, just like a Tivo!"
Echostar, on defense: "Oh, yeah? Look, Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury. I can't record 'Friends' any time it is on, even if it starts five minutes early. This thing is just a VCR that doesn't use tapes."

Dish's REAL defense: "Ours are not like Tivos at all. Most of the time it misses the recording completely. Just ask anyone with a 522 or 921."
Exactly.
"Your honor, DN's DVR is completely different than TiVO in one major way... TiVo works."

Dish has what they have coming to them. If they done something wrong then they have to pay the price for their mistakes. What goes around comes around. Things catch up with you eventually one way or another.
Wasn't the Dishplayer out before the Tivo
Dish should counter sue. Wasn't the Dishplayer out before the Tivo. I got mine the first month they were available and I don't remember there being a Tivo at that time. If I remember right Direct had the MS Ultimate TV receiver, but that was later. It had two tuners.
So who copied who. I liked my Dishplayer better than my current 508, but Dish dropped the contract with MS; so the software never got updated and the Recored List would be corrupt all the time.
