Cable TV operators won a key legal battle against Hollywood studios and television networks on Monday as the Supreme Court declined to block a new digital video recording system that could make it even easier for viewers to bypass commercials.

That allows the Bethpage, N.Y.-based company to proceed with plans to start deploying the technology this summer.
