The U.S. Court of Appeals gave DISH and EchoStar a bit of potential wiggle room on Monday as one judge said that some parts of the two companies’ DVRs did not infringe on TiVO patents. However, the three judge panel also questioned whether EchoStar and DISH waited too long to challenge a trial judge’s order to disable the set-top box functionality in their set-top boxes. The panel did not say when it will rule in the case
