Great news!
Next up: getting the National Geographics new high-def channel.
According to the National Geographics Web site,
National Geographic Channel High Definition (NGCHD) is not currently offered by DIRECTV. Please call 877-77NGCHD (877-776-4243) to request that NGCHD be added to your channel line-up!
I just called the number, after listening to a pre-recorded message, they transferred me to DirecTV to make the request. And was then stuck in DirecTV’s automated phone hell.
