I also Have Tivo, When initially read this I "thought" it meant Echostar would intentionally try to disable "Tivo" then I read it again. If EchoStar is wrong the hey Just partner with them and call it a night. I know a few friends who went with their DVR and not Tivo, I am silently laughing because "I told you so" and their DVR cant do 1% of what Tivo can do. I am an Echostar/Dish network Customer.

There has been a lot of chatter around the net from people blaming TiVo or the judge for the decision, when the blame is with EchoStar. The webpage is kind of aggressive, but it clearly lays out the issue.I think it is also designed to put more pressure on EchoStar to just settle this thing. TiVo is ready to take their customers.And, really, sign up for an LJ account. Anonymous comments are screened because they're usually spam. Plus anyone can post and sign 'Dave Zatz' but if you have an account we know it is you. And you get email notification when someone replies to you. They're free, you can use a throwaway email if you're worried about that. :-) I didn’t think it was that bad.
