Microsoft Sues TiVo, What Does This Mean for DVR Innovation?

Read this story to better understand the back-and-forth between TiVO, Dish, and Microsoft:

My question is whether TiVO's aggressive (and successful) legal campaign against DVR competitors may stifle / chill innovation in DVR technology and user experience.

This legal effort may be TiVO's "last stand" in its unfortunate history of getting squeezed out of markets by the MSOs who understandably want to own their subscribers' TV user experience, even if it's inferior.
