>>Are these all worthless?

TiVo Granted Eight New Domestic and Foreign Patents<<

John -

That depends on whether or not TiVo's competitors can produce their DVRs without violating TiVo's patents. If TiVo can enforce their patents, and force its competition to either stop producing their machines or pay a royalty, then the patents will be worth something.

In these kinds of cases, the courts make the final determination. A patent is worthless unless it is enforceable.
