A federal appeals court declared on Thursday a contempt finding against Dish Network Corp (NASDAQ:DISH)  and EchoStar Corp (NASDAQ:SATS) in their long-running patent case against digital video recorder maker TiVo Inc (NASDAQ:TIVO), sending TiVo shares soaring 52 percent.

The U.S. District Court for Eastern Texas had previously imposed contempt sanctions against sister companies Dish and EchoStar for violating a court-ordered permanent injunction to stop making and selling DVRs.

TiVo said it was pleased with the appeals court ruling, and said it paves the way for the company to receive $300 million in damages and contempt sanctions awarded to it for EchoStar's infringement through July 1, 2009.
