Foiled!

By oddjob60 - Tue, 03/25/2008 - 1:58pm.

So, how widespread was the Comcast problem that prevented me from seeing the opening pitch this morning?

At least at my house south of Boston, there were "this channel should be available shortly" messages on NESN and ESPN2, standard and HD. Was it a Comcast problem? A satellite glitch?

And I'm really glad I wasn't manning the phones at their customer service center this morning.

Boston.com reports on Comcast and DirecTV problems

No Sox, no service

Not only did DirecTV’s ESPN2 and NESN feeds come over blank, in certain sections of Massachusetts, Comcast customers got the early morning denial as well. Nobody can definitively explain if the two issues are related.
