DirecTV sued for degrading HDTV quality
In November 2004, subscriber Peter Cohen filed a lawsuit against DirecTV for misrepresenting its high-definition service. DirecTV claimed to offer high-definition, when in fact it was offering something less. DirecTV sought to keep the case out of the public’s eye by attempting to compel arbitration in the case. This week, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge ruled against DirecTV, declaring that DirecTV would have to answer questions about its practice of degrading HDTV signals in court.
