ViP's were not included in the TiVo suit.
If TiVo wants to go after the ViP receivers, they must go through an entire new trial and appeals process, maybe another 5+ years, by then Dish will have moved on to other technology we cannot dream of today.

I suspect victory is sweet for Tivo at this point, maybe bitter-sweet as I think even with this setback DN's future is still the one with a brighter future.

I love my TiVos, they are great for what they do, but TiVo screwed up badly when they left the OTA tuner out of the latest stand alone version of their SD boxes and when my older 240 model died, BB could not fix or replace it with the identical model so I had to settle for a cable tuner model with one set of composite/s-video inputs seriously limiting the flexibility of the SD box.
I use it with a digital converter box now, but even an SD digital tuner would have been nice. Classic shooting yourself in the foot.

Since then, the Court of Appeals has stayed the contempt citation and the Patent Office has preliminarily reversed the validity of the pertinent parts of TiVo's patent.
And the beat goes on...
