Lawsuit by Arkansas woman against DirecTV

A lawsuit filed by an Arkansas woman against the nation's largest satellite television operator has been moved to federal court.



The lawsuit was moved at the request of DirecTV and now is pending before U.S. District Judge Harry Barnes in federal court in Texarkana. But Jo Murray of Texarkana, a plaintiff, wants the case moved back to Miller County Circuit Court.



The lawsuit alleges that DirecTV holds customers to a contract that they need a magnifying glass and the Internet to read. It also says retailers don't tell customers about the contract, which includes a provision for a fee if the service is canceled less than two years after purchase. ProSat and Home Entertainment, a Texarkana-based retailer, has denied wrongdoing.
