Tivo Appeals Tremble Damages against DISH

Tivo has filed an appeal to the Texas Federal Court regarding the enhanced damages regarding DISH's infringement of TIVO's Patents. One can only think that the reason TIVO filed this was to prevent DISH from getting a permanent Stay until the appeals court can settle the initial ruling. This time 1 - 2 years would give DISH the opportunity to replace all infringing DVR's.

This was File on September 21st, 2006 by Tivo to the Texas Federal Court Ruling:

"Notice is hereby given that Plaintiff TiVo hie. cross-appeals to the United States Court ofAppeals for the Federal Circuit from the Amended Final Judgment entered by this Court onSeptember 8,2006 [document 806] and the Final Judgment entered on August 17, 2006[document 776] to the extent that the Court
