and check out this from the bottom of the page:

Tivo has been fighting for years to get what is rightfully there's IMO. TiVo has said it will be entitled to about $300 million in

damages and contempt sanctions through July 1, 2009, and it will

seek more cash for infringement after that date. That’s in

addition to $100 million Dish paid TiVo after the original

appeals court ruling.

"Dish may have to pay TiVo more than $2 billion to settle

the case 2009-1374, according to Craig Moffett, an analyst at Sanford C.

Bernstein in New York. If Dish were required to silence all its

DVRs, it would face a worst-case cost of $3 billion, he said"
