i think NESN is new england? if so it is out of market and i believe it would be included with sports pack. be warned though you will have 40 local sport channels that will give you a choice of 20 or so channels to choose from to watch "international fight league" and all the other programs they all carry..... and all the hockey, baseball, nba, are blacked out, except for the local market so for me at least it is not what I was hoping for.
