Opinion for the court filed by Circuit Judge LOURIE. Dissenting opinion filed by Circuit Judge RADER.


LOURIE, Circuit Judge.

Appellants (collectively, "EchoStar") appeal from the district court's decision finding them in contempt of the court's permanent injunction order. TiVo Inc. v. Dish Network Corp., 640 F.Supp.2d 853 (E.D.Tex.2009). Because we find that the district court did not abuse its discretion in imposing sanctions against EchoStar, we affirm the finding of contempt.
