Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

Mine is still hit-or-miss, but mostly still streaming fine. A few stops here and there, but alright.

I'm currently listening to the joy that was King of the Ring 1994, with Art Donovan doing "color". I had totally forgotten about this, and it's magic.

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

Streaming is working for me now on my PS4. I can fast forward through videos without the app freezing up.

I was watching a MSG show from 4-6-1981 with Stan Hansen vs.Bob Backlund and some matches listed aren't on there.

No Mil Mascaras vs. Moondog King or Dominic Denucci vs. Killer Khan and a couple others.

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

So according to the network, in 2 years I will have a 7 year old son who likes John Cena. I better get started on that.

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

Still can't watch any archived videos without them resulting in getting booted with an error screen. The live feed works fine though.

The Wrestlemania 1 main event might actually be worse than the upcoming Batista vs Orton match. I remember watching as a child, but it wasn't quite as good as I remembered. This Network may ruin all of my childhood memories. :lol:

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

Worked perfectly for me last night. So awesome. :)

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

Was The Crockett Cup a PPV?

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

I haven't checked that one out yet, but are you sure that they're not just missing chapters for those matches? I've noticed that quite a few are missing in some events.

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

Doubt it, the fans were actually into the match and while in hindsight Mr. T in a main event is a joke, at the time he brought in plenty of fans along with Lauper.

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

While Raw and SmackDown are subject to a 30-day delay before they can join the network, Main Event is not subject to that restriction. Last night's Main Event will air on the Network at 6:30PM Eastern today, leading into the pre-show for NXT ArRIVAL.

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

still was having issues last night with the roku...


sucks because i still havent finished watching beyond the ring...


also, i thought that if you watched a show on one device, you can pickup right from where you left off on another device.. is this not the case?

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

That's a Netflix feature. You can't even do that on a single device for WWE Network as of yet. WWE doesn't even have a queue system in place as of yet.

Right now, your account is used only to verify you have access to the Network, nothing more advanced than that.

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

Was surprised to see the app pop up on the Apple TV screen which makes it so much easier to use than airplaying from my MacBook Pro...LOVING the service so far. Starting my journey with old WCW.

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

Thanks for the heads up. After seeing your post, I signed up for the service through my iTunes account on my Apple TV. I started with Wrestlemania 3 and had no issue with buffering and streaming at all. I only wish it was on HD but I know is a fool's dream for the older stuff.

I'm loving it so far...

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

I signed up for the trial and it's pretty good so far, but I'm not sure how long the nostalgia factor will last. Hoping they do add some more 80s stuff as they go.

Was fun watching ECW Heatwave '98 again, I was ringside with some buddies at that one on Dayton.

No issues with the streaming here on PS3 or on AppleTV.

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

Stream died in the middle of Arrival (and not just for me, judging from a wrestling forum I've been browsing). They've gotta get that shit ironed out by Wrestlemania. If their goal was to get me to switch to TNA for tonight ... mission accomplished :(

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

Stream was only down for about two minutes.

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

They'd have to play g o a t s e on repeat before I switched to TNA.

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

did your system crash during the NXT PPV?

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

Just signed up, signed on (via Roku) and gave it a whirl. Nice!!

I'll cancel next Thurs before my 7 days are up and subscribe for real when WM30 is near (no use wasting month #1 on a non-PPV month)

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

Mine did toward the end of the show. Picture froze,which still seems to be the main problem.

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

Then you were one of the lucky ones. The majority of users missed the entire main event, and couldn't get back into it, myself included.

A ton of readers sent word that Roku has released a fix for the VOD problems with the WWE Network. On their Twitter, Roku announced, "#WWENetwork update: we just pushed a fix to the channel. Don't see it? Force an update by clicking Settings -> System update -> check now."

Chris "No Relation" Johnson sent the following....PS4 launched an update to the network tonight as well adding the search function to the App.

Sideshow Shan sent word that the 2014 Royal Rumble is now available in the WWE Network's VOD PPV area.

In asking about the Elimination Chamber, I was told by a source that it will debut on 3/24 due to a contractual obligation with PPV replays. Going forward, the other PPVs will be available the next day via VOD.

The same source indicated that a lot of content will be added once the free trial is over. The idea is that they want the free trial people to sample enough to get them to pay but not give them everything at once.

There are also plans to add every episode of Saturday Night's Main Event and the WCW Clash of Champions as well.

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

Just make sure that the rumors that the one-week free trial being from Monday-Sunday (despite when you signed up) isn't true.

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

Thanks for inspiring me to doublecheck...

My billing info page says the following:

I think I'm all set for the weekend and a sample of the Raw preview/recap shows. :)

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

At least sign up a few days before as there will most likely be another crush of new users on that day and their commerce system probably won't be able to handle it again.

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

3 ... 2 ... 1 ... DUCKFACE!

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

The only problem I'm having is -I have a Pavilion g6(laptop) computer and if it goes unattended,the screen will go black. This doesn't happen if I listen too certain internet radio stations. Screen remains the same.

So,as soon as I get a 25 ft long HDMI cable and watch it on my HD tv,it's going too be a pain to go back to the computer and just move the mouse alittle so the screen doesn't remain black.

I've read where it might be an overheating problem. Why they put the vents on the bottom and not on the side is beyond me?

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

And it's not just the power settings? Default settings will do that (black out screen after inactivity). I've found websites vary with how easily they induce blackout/sleep responses.

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

mice are wireless now ;)

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

It's not power settings? You should be able to fix it. Some apps override it, maybe WWE Network doesn't yet?

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

I was wondering why I would listen to one radio station and the screen would go black while listening to another-it stayed the same.

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

Well, all you have to do is try WWE Network with all power saving options disabled and see if your problem persists. If it doesn't, you have your answer.

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

Anyone have trouble cancelling? Between feeling like I was given the runaround and people not understanding English it felt like a chore. I was then told that I signed up for the 6 month commitment. When I know I clicked on the trial banner. They gave me a reference # now I have to wait to see if I get my refund.

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

Network is running perfect for me now. Rumor is they are going to add a lot of content when the free trial period ends. They promised 50 documentaries at launch but probably don't have 6 yet.

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

Yeah, everything's running perfect for me too. PS3 search feature isn't nearly as in depth as the iphone/ipad version, but everything is there if you know where to look. I've been going through old observers to make a list of 4+star matches I haven't seen before.

This is really awesome and consuming much of my free time now.

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

It was the power settings. Thanks for the help.

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

Now that everyone's had a week to play around with it, what are the features you'd like to see them add?

Here's my Wishlist:

- Watchlist/Queue
- Match listings for every event/show.
- Chapters so that you can jump ahead if a match sucks.
- Remember my place across multiple devices. So if I watch half a show on one device, I can resume it on another.
- Stars section, so that I can browse by wrestler. Wouldn't have to be every appearance. Just major matches and career highlights.

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

Related to chapters, I'd like a way to fast-forward while seeing what I'm skipping through. Like how things looks when I FF recorded shows on my DVR (the whole screen going fast) or the way Netflix shows it (showing smaller images at the bottom of the screen when particular time intervals).

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

it's been working pretty great for me too and I've pretty much had it on nonstop since last week. A real trip down memory lane and it may just get me somewhat interested in the current product. Which I know is their goal.
