TiVo took its patent infringement case over its PVR technology to a U.S. District Court in Texas. A ten member jury came to a decision in about two hours when they decided EchoStar, parent company to Dish Network, infringed on nine sections of TiVo's patent for Digital Video Recorders (DVR). $73.9 million awarded to TiVo is almost all of the $87 million TiVo sought in lost profit including a reasonable sum for royalties.
