A jury for the U.S. District Court of Eastern Texas on Monday favored EchoStar Communications Corp. in a patent infringement suit filed by Forgent Networks Inc. over software used for digital video recorders (DVRs). Forgent had asked for more than $200 million in damages from Englewood-based EchoStar, the country's No. 2 satellite TV provider. In July 2005, Austin-based Forgent also sued Cable One, The Washington Post Co., Charter Communications, Comcast, Time Warner Cable and eight other cable carriers and media outlets.
