That's right, the vehicle 34/132 is going to be used for the Resurs-DK1 (1L) launch (actually there was a paper next to the Resurs-DK rocket with the inscription 11A511U-PBV 34/132). But if you visit
http://www.federalspace.ru/PlanQuart.asp you'll see that that rocket has the serial number P15000-096.
In this image you can see the serial number of the Progress M-56 rocket.

By the way, P15000-096 should was launched with Progress M-55, but was replaced on F15000-080...

11A511U-PBV
Rui, please note again, how this designation is written correctly in Russian and in English!...
11A511U-P
VB, not 11A511U-P
BV...
You have accidently mixed letters "V" and "B" in this designation...

I remind that Progress M-56 will be launched at 16:03:26 UTC on April 24...
Unfortunately, there will not be live coverage (I mean television picture from Baikonur) of this launch on NASA TV...
But a docking (approximately at 17:54 UTC on April 26) will be "live" on NASA TV exactly!...

Is the launch going to be broadcasted in any way? I read NASA TV is not covering it, but maybe energya?

Live event thread moved into the newsfeed section.
Soyuz-U rocket will launch Progress M-56 cargo ship to ISS from Baikonur cosmodrome at 16:03:25 UTC - April 24.
No live coverage of note, unless someone knows better...but our Russian friends should be able to get news of how it all progressed (no pun intended) pretty fast.

This should be something NASA TV covers. But that's not happening?

No. NASA TV only covers the docking of Progress spacecrafts, never the launch.
