    Hello all, Went to Wally world and picked up the Toshiba HD-A2 for $98 to replace my XBOX 360 HD-DVD Addon. One of the reasons was to have TrueHD audio since the 360 can't do it. My PS3 has spoiled me. Anyways I have an Onkyo TX-SR605 HDMI switching receiver. PS3 works great...

    Oklahoma City HD locals active today!!!!

    You know I was actually wary about this because of that fact. I figured if Cox couldnt reach an agreement neither would Directv. However, I figured KFOR and KWTV would already have an agreement in place (they may already and may have technical difficulties). I am glad KOCO is available...
