DISH Network says some models of DVR can no longer be sold

Filed under:

Although DISH Network was quick to guarantee customers that their DVRs would stay functional after losing its patent appeal against TiVo, it looks like the company was a bit quick on the draw. Although the majority of the company’s DVRs have had their software updated to include non-infringing cipher, the VIP 721, 921, 942 and Homezone 1022 boxes haven’t been updated and installers are

being told that they can no longer install or activate them. You’re safe whether you’ve already got one up and running, but whether you were in the market for a specific box, it’s probably wise to double check those numbers.
