Then I really wonder why it's telling me 9.99 now even thought I clicked trial.

It doesn't say it won't be charged until 3/3 or 3/4 or something?

 

[Adrian121]

Yep, its getting all glitchy for me right now. It was bound to happen once it hit 9am, lol.

 

[MickeyPhree]

Each ppv I'm trying to look up has no content available when it was all just there 20 minutes ago.

 

[Quake1028]

I tried the free trial with a card that only has $4 on it and I get an insufficient funds error!

It has to authorize $9.99 which will then fall off.

 

[The Elite]

The WWE app on Android is now checking my location and denying access.

-edit: And now it's streaming fine again. That's weird.

This seems too unstable for me.

Are you using any sort of proxy?

 

[Deleted member 20415]

Can't get through the signup process right now... I'll try again in a bit...

Going to be interesting to see if the streams can hold up in this first week... if they do, they're gold.

 

[Quake1028]

I'm up and running on PC, iOS and PS4. This is awesome.

 

[ultrazilla]

Running smooth for me on ps4.


Yep. It is driving me crazy

Yeah it sounds like an Atari 2600 going through a death rattle.

 

[polyh3dron]

Watching Wrestlemania Rewind right now. Kind of annoying how they all refer to it as WWE back then even with all the video stuff clearly says WWF. Also, lol @ Daniel Bryan doing these sit down interview segments with that monstrosity of an unkempt beard on him. No wonder he keeps getting booked to lose the big shows. Dude needs to clean up his act and eat a steak or two.

 

[styl3s]

Keep in mind folks that this is a stress test considering the trial. This is gonna get hammered today.

Also keep in mind there's still current TV deals and more that restricts some of the content.



holy shit, that's a megaton

I have a feeling the internet is going to be extremely pissed due to this fact.

I don't think it's going to be as bad as MMO launches because completely different things but i expect problems but given how the internet is.. Also, i haven't checked out any pre-wwe content yet, is the WWF logo blurred? I assume it isn't since they reached that deal but i don't know. Can't fucking stand watching a match with blurs everywhere.

 

[Johnny Ryall]

UK gaf here, I've had like 4 hours sleep since overdoing the red bull last night. If the news about the geo block being a piece of piss to bypass is true I will be so happy to be red eyed right now.

Eh, it's just the internet, they're a forgiving bunch . Also there should be no blurs. That was removed.

 

[polyh3dron]

I was really hoping we'd get 60FPS video so it wouldn't look all YouTube-y and would actually look like live TV akin to the 360's UFC app. Quite the letdown.

Oh and no the WWF logos are not blurred. Watching the Wrestlemania 1 main event right now. It's crazy how they have Liberace, Muhammad Ali, Mr. T, Cyndi Lauper and all these other stars involved with it and how Hulk and T did all this mainstream publicity stuff to build heat for the match.

 

[Uno Venova]

I wish I could go check but it's getting hammered right now, but maybe it did.

 

[MickeyPhree]

This is what all content is displaying. Logged out and logged back in, but still the same.

 

[jmdajr]

here I go...

edit: and going and going

 

[Garou]

TV-video is never 60fps, internet-video is just deinterlaced and therefore doesn't look as "smooth". Try an interlaced video in VLC and try the deinterlace filters Bob (=smooth) and Yadif (=YouTubey).

 

[Malajax]

When it streams in HD, it's wonderful. Unfortunately, it hasn't been staying there. Hopefully it's just from the stress this morning.

Anyone using Apple TV? Cant get the app to appear. Not sure what to do

Watch the UFC 360 app and come back.

Or just watch an episode of RAW on your DVR and compare it to the WWE network stream and then realize how wrong you are.

I work in post production also, so I'm pretty familiar with video and frame rates and such.

 

[Kaladin]

There is no apple TV app.

 

[jmdajr]

can't seem to create an account :'(

 

[MickeyPhree]

Nothing is working for me. Instead of showing no content found like a minute ago, now I'm just treated to a blank screen. They must be getting hammered.

 

[Valtýr]

Created an account. Watching Wrestlemania Rewind. seems to be working fine.

 

[Aiii]

I use Unblock-us, but not on my phone.

I'm sure it will be properly unlocked soon enough, so I'm not worried, just hoping the WWE's check remains shitty for a while until they work their magic

 

[Tenck]

Site getting hammered so hard. Got to wait it out now

 

[Jimmyfenix]

IT JUMPS STRAIGHT TO ALL THE AJ MATCHES AND SEGMENTS GUYS!

My life is complete!

 

[Adrian121]

So, I think the actual live stream is geo blocked where as the archived videos seem to work fine. Weird.

 

[Garou]

Oh I know the difference, but it simply is not "60fps". You get 60 half-images in a second but those are still just 30 fps of content, smoothed out on your TV. US-Tv is usually 1080i, not p! See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1080p

They usually get deinterlaced to avoid combing on PCs and many digital displays.

This is working fine for me. It's everything else at this point that is crapping out.

Is this correct?

 

[Snaku]

So Bad Blood buffered every 15 seconds, but Wrestlemania Rewind live is playing flawlessly. I wonder if they're diverting bandwidth to the live stream?

 

[markatisu]

Twice twice to sign up, once timed out the second time almost got through the account setup before it timed out.

Will try again in a bit, servers must be getting hammered

But those alternating fields are separate frames of motion. The even field is a new frame compared to the odd field. Therefore, 60FPS.

1080i gets deinterlaced on our TVs to become 59.94 frames per second.

Also, this Wrestlemania 1 main event was kind of weak :/

It's gonna take some getting used to how fucking slow wrestling was back then. No doubt they cared about the story lines though for almost everyone.

Mania 1 is bad times my brother.

Sorry for the probably-moronic question but what's all this about a schedule? I thought it was an on-demand service rather than a TV channel arrangement. Obviously I understand that live broadcasts will start at a certain time but what is the benefit of scheduling WCCW at midday (for example) when it's available any time via a search anyway?

 

[mrboo001]

It took awhile, but I got in! Despite being from Canada! The "use US address and Paypal" trick works. I used the same address for profile and the network.

 

[dglavimans]

So yeah when i try to enter the free trial page which takes me to network.wwe.com it goes to a white page with this text: bamwsv2

Is it region blocked or just out?

I got that error as well.

Got past it eventually.

 

[davidsaurus]

Everyone gets such high hopes and expectations for everything nowadays.

I definitely prefer to temper my expectations and not go into these sorts of things expecting all the content, 60fps, no lag, seemless signup etc.

I have a feeling there are a few people who suggest they won't purchase it because of minor issues that they really had no intention of actually paying $9.99 a month and would rather continue pirating everything - which is disheartening.

It is on demand. They also have a schedule where they play shows.

You don't really need a tutorial for that, just sign up with a US address, I currently reside in a Days Inn in Newark, Delaware.

Pay for it using your own Paypal and you're done.

Finally got through. Watching..something.

Nice, Pops talking to me now.
