Oh Nilay, I'd expect better from an attorney. It's the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, in DC, that issued this opinion. The CAFC hears all appeals in patent cases regardless of the original venue.

Once Comcast sent me a letter saying that they'd be upping my monthly cost to rent their HD DVR to something more expensive than a TiVo, I dropped the $300 for an HD TiVo with a Cable Card tuner and couldn't be happier (admittedly I do not use VOD - Comcast's VOD is garbage).

While I too balked at TiVo's $800 intro to the HD market, the TiVo HD at $300 is hardly prohibitive.

Wonder what this will do to the Echostar TR-50? I was looking forward to getting one of those...]]>Jan 31st 2008 4:33PM
