Well, I'm in Minneapolis and have DirecTV. ABC 5 comes through all screwed up via Direct, but is perfectly fine via OTA. I think it's just my local affiliate's connection to Direct, though. Don't have HD, this is just stereo, which sounds all funky from Direct when DPLII is used. Probably sounds a bit off in stereo mode too, haven't tried it.

I've been meaning to call both companies about it, just haven't gotten to it.
