But, it won't change the September 12, 2006 hearing date and the fact that, absent DirecTV's concurrence, the hearing date can't be changed, and that there is no viable route of appeal when the court (which has discretion only on the timing of the service shutdown) tells EchoStar to turn off out-of-market signals to those who have the service unlawfully and lawfully.

Alright, I'm not a lawyer, and I'm not Bob Miller, but there is one thing I don't understand. The court ordering EchoStar to turn off out-of-market signals to those who have the service unlawfully is understandable and reasonable. But why order EchoStar to turn off service to those who are receiving out-of-market signals lawfully? Punishment to EchoStar? If so, it's more like punishment to innocent subscribers instead.
