Dish Network dishes out $104 million to TiVo

October 6, 2008

Dish NetworkThe Supreme Court has refused to hear Dish Network’s appeal of the DVR patent infringement case that it lost to TiVo a few years ago. Now the company will have to pay out a hefty $104 million bucks plus interest. According to a statement by the company, the check is in the mail:

“The money is in an escrow account and will be released to Tivo in the next few days.”

Sounds like the same excuse I give my credit card company.
