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.

Cable bill with FiOS

Several readers have inquired as to the “real cost” of Verizon FiOS service. Often, cable providers will advertise $30-$40 Internet and TV service, but when they finish adding up all the add-ons, extras, rentals, and taxes, your actual bill can run $150 or even $200.

Is FiOS any different? It sure is.
