Brewers @ Red Sox, 8:35 5/17 not on MLB EI?

[avatar230]

Last night's Brewers/Sox game was rained out and so it was rescheduled as part of a split double header today -- the first game is at 3:55pm ET and the second (new game) is at 8:35pm ET. The first game was already going to be unavailable due to the awesome FOX blackout rule. According to their website NESN is covering the second game but it's not showing up in the guide yet either on NESN or on one of the 700s channels. Am I going to miss yet another game because no one actually turns on the feed?

I'd like to think it will be fixed before game time -- but sometimes things fall between the cracks on the weekends.

If the guide information is not updated, those of us with the sportspack will be screwed also -- there is an old game being shown from 8-10 PM in the NESN-HD guide, and those are blacked out. But from 10:00 on would be available.

But I'm still thinking that the chances are better than even that they'll get things set before tonight.

If I'm a betting man, they will screw up, and we will assault them with calls and e-mails and it will eventually get turned on. The Mets-Yankees game 2 is the same situation.

It's still not fixed as per my HR20 guide. I'm on hold to talk to a rep who I'm sure will be thoroughly confused.

UPDATE @ 4:50PM PT -- the guide still shows zilch, but if you go to the mix channel, 720, it's showing the game will be on 737 & 737-1. We'll see what happens at 5:35...

Pregame stuff is on so it will probly be on. Good for DirecTV, they just need to get the guide updated better.

Sox game is on 623 for Sports pack subs...not on EI (yet) -- on my guide anyway.
