have a roku in the bedroom, but want to fall asleep on my couch watching lesnar throw people around on a much bigger screen. tried with the laptop last night, but the on demand kept freezing/disconnecting after a few minutes. not a disaster by any means and i've kept my patience. it's not like i took off from work or anything (http://pwupdate.net/2014/02/26/networked-by-the-masked-mark

This was the first agent I could clearly understand. She had no accent, and the line had no static or echo. I can only assume she was from a different call center than the last few calls. I expressed my surprise and gave her a brief rundown of the previous six hours. After explaining how I took the day off from work to watch, losing a day’s pay in the process, and had received no help from anybody while staring at various load screens, she let out a long, hearty laugh.
I asked her what part of my frustration she found amusing.
“I thought you were making a joke”
I told her I ain’t laughing.

i find it hilarious he would take the day off to watch wrestling.

on launch day!

this is the week i decided to catch up on true detective, so i'll be ok. still, loaded the app on roku and it works, though cena/lesnar crapped out several times during the match. did get to at least see two toddlers dressed in cena gear in the first row as these two giants bled out in front of me. don't remember that being part of the discussion post-match.

What's also funny is this is still the free trial period. He's technically not paying anything yet.

Cesaro vs. Zayn owned.

I can't get over the NXT announcers. Why aren't they constantly arguing with each other? Why hasn't one of them talked about how ugly the babyface is?

Zandrax · « **Reply #30 on:** February 27, 2014, 08:48:29 PM »

So somebody in NXT is named CJ Parker? Somebody's been watching too much Baywatch.

I must not have been paying attention, as I've only just now learned you get all upcoming PPVs in the package.

Cripes...

That was one of the first things announced there, guy.

Just for clarification, you get the live stream, but new PPVs won't be on demand until 30 days later

Per Meltzer

Clarification on PPVs on the WWE Network

Because of various rumors and questions being asked, this is the situation with pay-per-view replays on the network.

Essentially, all PPVs from this point forward will be on the network. The 30-day window of not putting the show up that is the case with Royal Rumble and Elimination Chamber will not apply to WrestleMania, or any shows going forward.

Those two shows were part of previous agreements with cable companies that did not give WWE the right to put the shows up or release them elsewhere for 30 days. Royal Rumble should be up on the network today or tomorrow and Chamber on around March 25th.

All shows going forward will be available as video-on-demand content shortly after the completion of the show.

All that's well and good, but tonight put a big hurdle in front of them

There were major stalls in the stream of a live NXT show.

NXT!

They better get their poop in gear for Wrestlemania. People will take days of work for that.

I thought the NXT show was pretty good. My audio was tinney, but others I know that have a Roku didn't get that, so it must have been just me.

All until the main. Feed crapped out, never could get it going again. Hope this gets worked up as this will kill it for me if you can't watch the PPV's live. I am assuming the NXT show is now on demand, will have to look so I can watch the main.

They released a statement that the entire show will be on demand by tonight.

I'm watching on my Roku and I've been trying to watch The Wrestling Classic since Tuesday and it craps out every five minutes or so. It says socket error or something. The worst part is that every time I restart, it shows the TV rating again.

Is that the error everyone else is getting? Error? Socket error try again in a few minutes?

Watching on my computer I haven't had any problems at all. But I'd like to watch it on my roku.

Yes. Just got a Roku for the WWE network. I've yet to be able to watch anything other than 5 minutes or so on demand. The live feed has worked pretty good except for the last part of the live NXT show last night.

Watching stuff (on demand) on my droid phone has been perfect. Just would rather watch on a bit of larger screen

I've nary had a problem on my good ol' PC.

Straight up everybody dies.

Seriously though, I think that's one of the reasons they started this with several weeks to go before Mania. They have a month to get their poop in gear.

Watching Fall Brawl '93 and how have I never seen Lord Steven Regal vs. Ricky Steamboat for the TV Title? Amazing match and one of the best PPV openers I've ever seen. Big Sky is coming out now and Shockmaster is in the main event so I'm thinking this is probably going to be the best PPV ever?

I missed Shockmaster's debut as a kid, so I didn't get why he was on the team. I was smart enough to piece together that it was Tugboat, and I was a huge Tugboat fan. But sometimes I wonder was this stoopid WCW or hidden genius? Even if the sabotage hadn't happened, it's a fat guy in a Stormtrooper helmet... Which is the stereotypical wrestling fan in 2014.

Aside from Tuesday when I first started watching, I haven't had too many issues. That's on an iPad, PS3, and laptop. Although, watching Mickie vs Trish at WM22, it did pause every 10s. That was on the PS3. I stopped the show, watched the Smackdown Backstage Pass live stream (which worked perfectly), and tried WM22 again after and it was fine. I wonder if it had issue because I was skipping around with the seek buttons, and it couldn't keep up.

Horsehead · « **Reply #49 on:** March 01, 2014, 09:29:34 AM »

My only problem still is that I can watch it on chrome on my laptop but not my laptop. Not that its a big deal just puzzling.
