ENGLEWOOD, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 24, 2006--EchoStar
Communications Corporation (Nasdaq:DISH) has issued the following
statement regarding recent developments in the Tivo Inc. v. EchoStar
Communications Corp. lawsuit:


"We are pleased that the United States Patent and Trademark Office
yesterday rejected many of Tivo's patent claims as invalid. That
reexamination ruling, together with the favorable decision from the
Court of Appeals earlier this month (finding that the Texas court
abused its discretion in connection with key trial evidence withheld
from the jury), are steps in the right direction as we prepare our
response to Tivo's recently filed injunction motion. Similarly, the
favorable U.S. Supreme Court decision last week in the Ebay patent
injunction case will be considered as part of the long process ahead."
