TiVo Issues Follow Up Statement on Order by U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Texas and Scheduled Additional Damages and Workaround Hearing

ALVISO, Calif., Nov. 21 /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 order by the United States District Court, Eastern District of Texas, in the lawsuit against EchoStar Communications Corporation:

"We are pleased that the U.S. District Court has scheduled a hearing on
EchoStar's purported workaround on February 17, 2009. Contrary to
EchoStar's statement yesterday, the Court did not rule on TiVo's pending
motion for contempt of the injunction. The Court will do so after the
hearing as well as rule on the amount of damages owed to TiVo (which
EchoStar admitted at the September 4, 2008 hearing are owed) beyond the
nearly $105 million already paid by EchoStar. This is a positive step,
particularly the accelerated discovery ordered by the Court, towards the
ultimate resolution of all issues in the litigation and we remain
confident that we will prevail in showing that EchoStar's workaround does
not avoid infringement."
