In recent months the satellite TV giant has filed nearly 9,000 federal lawsuits against people who've purchased signal piracy devices. But some of those devices have legitimate uses, and innocent computer geeks are getting caught in the crackdown.

Sorry, Tegron, but Echostar/Dishnetwork DID NOT buy out DirecTV. The merger was blocked by the FCC and the legal powers-that-be in Washington D.C. late last year. In fact, Dishnet had to pay the stockholders of DirecTV what amounted to a huge consolation prize of several million dollars.....At this time, DirecTV is still owned by Hughes, which is still owned by GM. Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation is the current flavor of the month for potential buyer of DirecTV.......
