According to this article in the Boston Herald, CSNE will be adding Celtic away games in HD later this season (no specific date given). Celts’ away games not high-def - BostonHerald.com

The game was also available on channel 95 in the Portland, Maine DMA. OK, now for the strange part - this broadcast seemed to be interfering with the NESN HD feed of the Bruins. The Celtics telecast was fine. The Bruins, however, was pixelating badly to the point it would freeze up for an...

This must only be for the Boston DMA. I live in Maine and FSNE is our RSN and I checked the 90s channels last night and we didn't get the Celtics in HD (unfortunately). Hopefully, we'll start getting both this and NESN HD up here soon.

Portlaned, Maine is now lit (at least, partially). Right now, NBC, ABC and CBS are now active in HD. PBS, FOX, CW and NESN are not.

This sounds like the same problem we had in New England about a week ago. I found calling DirecTV to be no help at all. Their CSRs all say the same thing, "we don't control the blackouts." I had much better luck by contacting regional sports network directly and telling them what was going...

Everything back to normal here as well.

Appreciate the help, Dishcomm, but I guess the point we're trying to make isn't clear. This isn't an issue of "why don't I get these games here?", it's about "why am I no longer getting these games here?". Using the zip code locator for RSNs on DirecTV's site shows my RSNs are NESN and FSNE...

Well, problem has not been fixed yet. I contacted DTV but that was an excercise in futility. I also sent another e-mail to NESN and hopefully they will get this straightened out with DTV.

DirecTV's CSR was very polite but of no help to me. I also sent an e-mail to NESN and finally heard back from them. NESN says it was a zip code error on DirecTV's part and that the problem should be corrected before the game against the Thrashers tonight.

Brewer, what channel did you get the NESN HD feed on? I did get the HD feed from FSN Florida on channel 95 (so I was able (sadly) to see the B's get beaten so badly). We don't get NESN HD regularly up here (yet). What makes this all strange is that even with the free Center Ice preview, I...

Anyone else run into this problem? I am in Buxton, Maine and NESN is my RSN and I've never had a Bruin or Red Sox game blacked out before.

Thanks for the help. The customer rentention number worked great. Turns out the work order was logged but the scheduled appointment was not. They wanted to reschedule for August 9th but I got them to come out this morning instead.

Hey Everybody, I'm having some trouble with a DirecTV upgrade installation. Back on July 11th, I made an appointment to get the HD upgrade package. The appointment was scheduled for 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM on July 22nd. Well, July 22nd came and went and the installer pulled a no-show. I...

Has there been any word regarding FSNE (Fox Sports New England - which has the Boston Celtics games)?
