Posted on: Wednesday, 3 June 2009, 18:02 CDT

ALVISO, Calif., June 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- TiVo Inc. (Nasdaq: TIVO), the creator of and a leader in television products and services for digital video recorders (DVR), offered the following statement today on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington, D.C. decision to issue a temporary stay of injunction in its lawsuit against EchoStar Communications Corporation:

"We are very pleased with the recent decision by the United States District Court, Eastern District of Texas, to fully enforce a permanent injunction in our patent case against EchoStar in addition to rejecting EchoStar's alleged workaround claim regarding the TiVo patent and finding EchoStar to be in contempt of the Court's permanent injunction. The U.S. Court of Appeals temporarily stayed the District Court's ruling pending the Court's consideration of TiVo's response to EchoStar's motion for stay pending appeal. We are confident the U.S. Court of Appeals will again uphold the District Court ruling and not permit EchoStar to further delay this case once it has an opportunity to consider TiVo's response and EchoStar's motion on the issue of the stay."
