Unlikely to be an issue, with any luck. The patents in question have
nowt to do with DVB, and EchoStar make a heck of a lot of satellite
receivers and other STBs which TiVo really needs to control. It would be
like TiVo not adding IR codes for a new Pace STB because they make the
Sky+ box, ignoring the cable, DVB, satellite and other boxes that Pace make.
Anyway, we'll see...
