I don't know if this has been posted but I just seen it on sonicview's home site.

Dear FTA Community:

SonicView has recently learned that DISH Network, Echostar and Nagrastar have filed a civil lawsuit in Federal Court in California against Sonicview and three other related individuals. SonicView intends to vigorously defend against the baseless claims made by DISH. SonicView has already retained experienced litigation counsel to help them fight these false accusations.

It has also been brought to the attention of SonicView that some of its competitors have been improperly making contact with SonicView’s distributors, dealers and customers, and maliciously conveying misleading information to them. They have falsely stated that SonicView’s distributors, dealers and customers are being raided and their inventory seized, and have intimated that SonicView’s distributors, dealers and customers may be liable or named in a lawsuit filed against SonicView.

Let’s be absolutely clear — only SonicView and three related individuals have been named in the lawsuit. None of SonicView’s distributors, dealers or customers have been sued or even identified in the allegations of the Complaint, nor are they named on any supposed list. The Federal Court has not awarded any relief whatsoever to either DISH, Echostar or Nagrastar. SonicView is confident that it will prevail if the lawsuit proceeds, and we (or our lawyers) will keep all of you informed of any significant developments in the future.

Your continued business is very important to SonicView. Indeed, SonicView’s success is largely dependent on you because you have worked with SonicView to make it a top selling FTA receiver. There is a reason why SonicView has been a success – the quality of the products and our customer service. You have made a choice to purchase and use the SonicView line because the quality and customer service is unmatched in the industry. It is clear that those unknown persons disparaging SonicView do so only in a misguided attempt to promote their own products – products that cannot match the quality of SonicView. SonicView intends to continue supplying products that you and your customers demand, products that continue to flourish in the growing FTA industry.

Respectfully,


Manuel de la Cerra, Esq.

That has been on the Sonicview home page for at least 3 or 4 months. According to court records (which were posted on a thread previously) the suit has named the Co. and three others. The update is that the Courts set an injunction that has essentially frozen the Company from producing or selling any receivers or developing any products that relate to satellite signal reception of D**h Network. Of course we all know none of the products sold are to be used for illegal satellite signal reception and are only for FTA use.
D**h, Echostar, Kludenski (spelling?), etal did same thing to Viewsat. The problem with Viewsat was they were providing technical support to customers that violated the law. Which was actually named Viewtech (the technical support for Viewsat Company). How they relate I don't know. But the investigators found a link.
