Question about RCN's FSNE HD channel

[Ken Kokubo]

oops clicked send by mistake...

Eric did you find an answer? I've been busy the past few days and just 
recorded the SD broadcast to be safe. And as an aside... got home from 
my "other" job ~1:15am stayed up to watch that travesty of a game and 
had to get up ~6am so I'm pretty bitter about wednesday night.

I will mess around tonight and see and maybe try and call them about it.

It used to be on the program guide last year but RCN just switched 
systems (the new one is beyond horrible) and it isn't there anymore (as 
you've noticed).
