I guess you missed my 8-18 post:

"This is from Echostar's 8-9-06 Quarterly Report:

"TiVo filed requests for reexamination during May 2006. During July 2006 the case was stayed pending the reexamination process, which could take many years"."

U.S. Magistrate Judge Caroline M. Craven of Texarkana blocked EchoStar Communications Corp.'s patent-infringement lawsuit against TiVo and Humax USA Inc. while the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office reviews patents claimed by EchoStar.

Craven, who issued the stay last month, made it final when EchoStar declined to appeal, TiVo spokesman Elliot Sloane said Monday.

This is an update to the earlier thread, yes, and probably should be merged with it.
