| 58. Thanks for the rundown.. |

... let me add a couple things....
1) LinkTV is also on DirecTV, my wife watches it all the time.
2) TiVo is vastly superior to hokey PVR that comes with Dish, because it has the Season Pass feature which is the most important part.
It's too bad, these patent fights are often nasty. And IMHO, our patent office is nuts, handing out patents for stuff that is "obvious" and where there is plenty of "prior art" that shouldn't be patentable at all.
I hope Dish comes through this ok, I'd like to see the competition.
