The problem did not affect those with high definition TV. A spokesman for El Segundo, Calif.-based DirectTV would not specify what the problem was, or how many people were affected. He said NESN was back up by the seventh inning, enough time to see Boston rally for a 6-5 victory in 10 innings. But ESPN2 wasn't back until after the game ended. Comcast cable company also said it had a problem at its Rehoboth, Mass., facility that affected "a small percentage" of subscribers for much of the game. © Copyright 2006-2009 sportsvideogroup |
