said by techyguy09:Charter is a great company, and I think alot of you are getting the issue at hand mixed up with other issues. Directv needs to stop the dirty tactics and get with the program, or pay damages to Charter.
While I don't think many here will agree with you that Charter is a great company they may very well have a case against DirecTV. There is in fact a precedent of a large cable company (Adelphia) operating under Chapter 11. Many of the Adelphia systems along with service were actually upgraded at the time. There was bit of an integration mess after Time Warner Cable and Comcast took over but it's far fetched to say the DirecTV ads aren't misleading.
