DISH Network and EchoStar Statement Regarding Tivo

ENGLEWOOD, Colo., June 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- DISH Network Corporation (Nasdaq: DISH) and EchoStar Corporation (Nasdaq: SATS) issued the following statement regarding today's ruling by the U.S. District Court in Texarkana, Texas, in EchoStar Communications Corporation vs. Tivo:

"We are disappointed in the district court's decision finding us in contempt. DISH Network will appeal, and will file a motion to stay the order with the Federal Circuit. We believe a stay is warranted and that we have strong grounds for appeal. Our engineers spent close to a year designing-around Tivo's patent and removed the very features that Tivo said infringed at trial. Existing DISH Network customers with DVRs are not immediately impacted by these recent developments."
