TiVo gets $104.6 million in damages from EchoStar

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - TiVo Inc said on Thursday it has received the $104.6 million in damages from EchoStar Corp that it won this week when the U.S. Supreme Court denied an appeal of a patent infringement case.

TiVo said in a statement that it received the damages on Wednesday, following the Supreme Court's decision on Monday not to review an appellate court's ruling.

The dispute between TiVo and EchoStar stemmed from a battle over TiVo's "Time Warp" software, which allows users to record a program and watch another one at the same time via a digital video recorder.

A ruling is still pending from U.S. District Judge David Folsom in Texas on whether EchoStar owes TiVo more damages for allegedly failing to turn off its DVRs, as required in an injunction. TiVo said it expects further damages.
