Dish Chalks Up Court Win for the Ad-Skipping Hopper

Court denies Fox request to halt service

Dish Network won another court victory in its fight with broadcasters over its ad-skipping Hopper that's reviled by broadcasters. On Monday, the U.S. District Court for the central district of California denied Fox Broadcasting's request for a preliminary injunction against the Hopper's DVR place-shifting features.

The decision follows last week's ruling by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals that upheld a lower court's ruling denying ABC a preliminary injunction to block the Hopper's ability to skip ads.
