TiVo (TIVO) today said it was awarded $200 million in sanctions against EchoStar (SATS) and Dish Network (DISH) for violation of a permanent injunction against violation of TiVo’s DVR patents. That brings total damages in the long-running case to about $400 million, plus attorneys fees. The company noted that the federal court judge overseeing the case said ruled that he “will entertain the award of enhanced sanctions” if EchoStar and DIsh are unsuccessful on appeal and continue to disregard the court’s orders.

Citigroup analyst Jason Bazinet this morning added Cablevision (CVC) to the firm’s Top Picks Live list, asserting that there is little downside risk given a 10% free cash yield, and a potential catalyst in the proposed spin-off of the company’s MSG unit. His price target on the stock is $25, about 10% above Friday’s close at $22.25.

Meanwhile, the analyst removed EchoStar (SATS) from the Top Picks list to reflect recent performance, and likewise pulled Time Warner (TWX) from the list, again on a valuation basis. But both stocks hang on to their Buy ratings.

Following up on its litigation against DISH Network (DISH) and Echostar (SATS), TiVo (TIVO) this afternoon announced that it has filed suit against AT&T (T) and Verizon (VZ) in federal court in Texas for infringement of three patents covering DVR technology. Both companies use DVRs in their digital TV services.

The patents at issue include 6,233,389 B1 (”Multimedia Time Warping System”), 7,529,465 B2 (”System for Time Shifting Multimedia Content Streams”), and 7,493,015 B1 (”Automatic Playback Overshoot Correction System”).

EchoStar (SATS) shares are trading higher this morning after Citigroup analyst Jason Bazinet this morning raised his rating on the stock to Buy from Sell, while boosting his price target to $21, from $13.50. The stock closed Monday at $15.97.

Bazinet offered five reasons for his upgrade of EchoStar, which makes set-top boxes:
