Question about RCN's FSNE HD channel

[Eric Albert]

I switched from Comcast to RCN so I could watch Celtics
home games on RCN's Fox Sports New England High Definition
channel (FSNEHD; channel 171 in Newton, MA).

For all the weeks I've had RCN cable service, the FSNEHD
channel has always displayed the message "Off air all day"
when I switched to it.  Clicking the "Guide" button on the
remote confirms this: every hour of the day for the channel
is marked "Off air".

I called RCN about this a while ago, and was told that
FSNEHD is a local sports channel, and displays content
*only* when there's a HD game.  OK, that made sense.

Well, tonight's game will be broadcast in HD.  But my
FSNEHD still says "Off air all day" and the guide shows
"off air" for the time of the game.

Is there a Boston-area Celtics fan who watches the Celtics
on RCN in HD who can tell me what's going on?  Does your
version of FSNEHD have anything listed for tonight?  If I
tell my DVR to record channel 171, will I actually record a
game, even though the guide says there isn't one?

Thanks!
