Re: Dish Network
said by scooby  :Was ReplayTV first or Tivo first? ReplayTV. They were close, in development at the same time, but ReplayTV beat Tivo to market. Not that it matters much.
Tivo appears to be trying to make an example out of Dish. They are. So far everyone's caving in to the extortion, but Dish is resisting and saying "Go to Hell." So like many just causes, they are being put through Hell. They have a history of fighting BS, and are hoping that justice will win out in the end.... which is looking a bit slim at the moment. Dish may end up having to pay the extortion fees, which of course will be passed on to customers.
