Washington, D.C.. (June 29, 2005) -- DIRECTV is accusing a cable consortium of setting an illegal pricing structure for two High-Definition TV channels, The Wall Street Journal reported today.
The satcaster is expected to file a complaint with the Federal Communications Commission today.
DIRECTV says the consortium, which includes Comcast, Time Warner and Cox, is charging it more for high-def channels, INHD and INHD 2, than it charges cable operators. According to WSJ, the satcaster says the action is negatively affecting its business.
DIRECTV currently does not carry the two HDTV channels, which are on many cable systems.

At least they're thinking about adding them.
