Addition by subtraction. They "added" 772 (Golf HD) by taking away Versus/Golf HD (the previous channel 772). In other words, they took away the Versus HD without adding it elsewhere. Golf HD is completely worthless, while Versus HD has some value (specifically, hockey in HD).
The useless Golf HD goes along well with Weather Channel HD (channel 794), another useless channel. Makes you wonder who makes the selections on which channels to suck up valuable bandwidth (Charter in St. Louis does NOT use SDV - yet).
Charter in St. Louis has, of course, also been without CBS in HD due to the dispute between greedy Belo and Charter and is now going to lose the standard definition feed as well (see: http://www.kmov.com/charter/).
Now, the good news: supposedly Charter is supposed to add MLB Network HD, USA HD, and Sci-Fi HD in January....no word on any possible rollout of SDV yet.
