At 11:30 and 12:30 PM (Pacific) they will be showing "In the womb", two parts, in HD on the new National Geographic HD channel (channel 77). I haven't seen any other active programming other than these two specific hours.

"Not available in my area" message pops up. Hope others have better luck.

Nope. It seems that the "premier" fizzled. Let's see if a later broadcast shows up as scheduled.

Not so much.

Channel 77 on my HR10 is showing the DirecTV logo with music playing. I'm listening to "Free Ride" and having flashbacks to last week's Lost episode.

What's the appeal to looking at a woman's uterus in HD?

Finally able to get a signal (11:30 AM and 12:30PM Pacific time). The show was alot like the old PBS special (forget the name) but the photograpy was incredible. I wasn't sure if I was viewing CG or live footage.

The first one was a dud on the east coast. I got nothing. The second one recorded 28 minutes. I had seen the show on cable before so no big thrill but just want to get some value out of the situation. New channel...hope it picks up more stuff though.

I recorded both Part 1 and Par 2 last night. Part 1 was 0 minutes, Part 2 was 46 minutes (partial).

Hmmmm!

The hope that they zoom out and we see naughty parts :D

I hope the flashbacks are at least in HD

Still get black screen , will try one more time tonight .I also got nothing, but this morning I switched off the channel and then back - lo and behold, the program appeared. At the end of the program the screen went black, but I had audio. Did the switch again and got the DirecTV banner on screen with the audio. Something weird going on.

So much for "the only HD from now on will be MPEG4." That shows that even those who "know" may not really know everything. Makes my HR10 even better. Eventually we'll have to give in, but this makes it last a bit longer.

I tried to record two of these, one said it was 48 minutes, but wanted to delete as soon as I hit play, so no go.

the other didn't record, said the satellite 1 was out, which it wasn't/isn't.

LOTS of new stuff listed, over the course of the week. Has anyone seen these programs elsewhere, or do we think this is new stuff?

Looks like fun, hopefully, I'll get SOME recording and not just DELETE

Any update on whether Galapagos will be on? Just watched the TiVo preview (Gold star -- DirecTV central), and it looked amazing in SD -- HD will be incredible...
