"LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - A judge has ordered EchoStar to disable the digital video recorders used by several million subscribers to its Dish satellite TV service because they infringe on patents held by TiVo.

So which 192,708 DVRs are safe, and which are not??? And how do we get our money back if our DVRs are 'turned off'???
