] digital-recording technology. The ruling may force Dish to strike a licensing deal with Tivo, which rallied more than 50 percent on the news. Dish said it plans an appeal.
Dish stock will need to rise at least another $1.09 by the July options expiration for today's large trade to profit. A purchase of 4,000 July 13 puts for $0.50 was made less than a minute before the call activity, suggesting that the trader was securing downside protection on his or her long position.
Earlier in the day, investors aggressively sold Dish calls, driving volume in the June 15 strike to 7,526 against open interest of 4,880 contracts.
