What happened is that they kept the case going long enough to force ReplayTV into bankruptcy from their legal fees.
Oh, and the studios dropped the case, and the EFF's counter suit seeking a declaratory statement that skipping commercials was not infringement was dismissed as not addressing a live issue.
Timeshifting was not fully recognised as legal until 2008, when the court of appeals overturned the ruling in Fox v Cablevision.
