September.
I'm not sure what the new channel numbers are going to be.
They have been showing a 'sneak preview' of MHD on channel 332 this week.

What happened to the National Geographic HD channel previews?
Is Directv still showing these intermittently like they did or no?

I believe there will be a few more channels in that line-up because all of the HBO channels I think are also included (if you subscribe to HBO of course).

Yes, they are still running these also.  Usually channel 95, I believe.

Did anyone see the MHD preview?  I missed it...

8 days and change until Blast Off!

Do they still call it "Blast off" ?

Did I miss something, but I would have assumed that FX would be in that list.
