Alviso, Calif. - A federal court in Texas has ordered DISH Network (NASD: DISH) satellite TV provider EchoStar Communications to pay $200 million in sanctions, for violating an injunction won by TiVo (NASD: TIVO) in its DVR patent infringement claims against the company. TiVo had sought nearly $1 billion in the lawsuit, which it said represented all of DISH's profits over the past five years it has been distributing set-tops that infringe on its patent.
