Yippee! I see NGHC on 77 in my guide too.
OK, now I'm racking my brain trying to figure out what used to be on channel 77. What was there?

Did someone make a typo over at D*, why is it "NGHC" instead of "NGHD"?

I spoke to a CSR a few minutes ago. I noticed this about 15 minutes ago and called. I told her that the channel was on the guide and wanted to know what was up with it. I told her it was listed as "To Be Announced". She told me I could get rid of the "To Be Announced" by resetting the receiver. LOL!!! I told her I wanted to know what was up with NGHD. She didn't know. I have a feeling it may be around the corner. Hopefully! That's a great channel.

I'm wondering which sat this will be coming from and if this will be MPEG2 or MPEG4. If it's MPEG4 there will be a lot of HR10 users that won't be too happy.

If it's showing up on the HR10's then it's MPEG2. Very surprising. They must be *real* confident that they will get a new sat up by Sunday Ticket.

Hopefully this isn't some cruel tease on DirecTV's part.
