Don't watch RAW from 1998 yet. The one with Austin and Tyson. It just crashed my PS3.
Doesn't work on IE either. Stop with the conspiracies!
it's gotta work shadow. How else am I watching guys in pastel colored underwear and bad 80's hair beating each other up?
The "live" feed programming is great. The on demand stuff is basically 10 seconds of footage followed by 45-60 seconds of buffering. I guess that bodes well for future PPVs but the current product ain't really why I bought this shit, ya know?
A ppv crashed mine. Pos.
That's weird, I "filled in" my existing ppv.wwe.com account with information saying I live in Norfolk, CT, and suddenly I can access network.wwe.com. All videos error out saying "Media Error: Video not available", which I guess could mean anything, but my billing address at ppv.wwe.com was my actual, non-US, billing address.
This is a G*d damn travesty!Tits censored on Armageddon 99'
........ I have no idea what you're referring to lol a gaffer was like 6 or 7 when that happened and couldn't afford ppv

So long as you signed up for the trial I presume you are under no obligation to give them any money whatsoever until WrestleMania. So if it's a big issue for you then just cancel auto-renew, don't give them any money yet and come back later. No one is forcing you to continue paying. Be smart with your money.
The error that asks you to close the app? I get it every time on PS4.

I like how i can just load it up and instantly start watching live.
My biggest complaint is that it doesn't save the times you stop watching things. I accidentally exited out of WM17 like 4 matches in and when i went back i had to FF to where i was which was very annoying.
App or PC? I have 0 problems on PC but PS4 gives me nothing but problems.
You also have to understand this is day fucking one. There is going to be problems, hence the 1 week free. To think that this is going to launch with 0 problems is to be extremely naive.

I just loaded up the PS3 app to watch the live steam and no it is not live TV quality. This is running at 30 frames per second.

iOS app is working flawlessly.
TV has never been 60 FPS. NTSC or PAL. Neither.

Turn off your natural motion/double frame gimmick on your TV because it's never been 60fps.
Why do people keep complaining about this? In what magical world do you people live in where WWE was EVER 60fps live? Or any other tv show out there?

Nearly all TV and Film are run at 24FPS. This not running at 60 FPS doesn't bother me even in the slightest.
I'm only sharing some frustrations, I have confidence the issues will be ironed out in the coming days.
I'll give the PC app a shot.

Oh here we go with this again.
Ok 59.94 if you want to be specific. The even fields make one frame and then the odd fields make up the next frame creating what effectively is 60 frames per second and that is how NTSC has been since the beginning of time. Same goes for 1080i HD where the 540 even lines make one frame and then the 540 odd lines make up the next frame. If you can't see how much smoother live TV is than this stream then you should maybe get your eyes checked or something.

Sure, if you make a US account. I don't know if it'll work properly though. Hoping some other brave soul tries for me haha.

Can you at least quote some sources because this is literally the only time I have ever heard this?

I've been trying on and off since 9AM to add the Network to my existing WWE account. I am finally able to get to the billing screen then it times out. How many more steps are there after that?

Correct~ and ECW.

I'm glad my eyes are untrained. I don't have to worry about shit like this. I can just watch it and enjoy.
Yeah but I just tried it again and I got the ppv list. Currently watching starcade 88.

Yes, and ECW. Though, for me, nothing is working.

Works fine for me from the UK! Only thing is that the live stuff seems to crash the app so you can only watch on demand stuff right now!

How in the hell do you think NES, SNES, Genesis and other NTSC game consoles ran at 60 frames per second? This is just shit I know due to working in post production for years so I don't really know of a link off hand that I can provide you with.

Well at least I have a WWE account so far. Just gotta wait a bit before I can put in my CC info since I keep getting an error every time I try to put it in.

Nice, I'll give it a go when it's less shaky.

Because that's what the source material is? It depends what these shows were originally shot at. If it's a deal breaker for you then I don't know what to say.
Right. I saw a couple posts about some RAWs but then saw they were only a few from '93. Then I thought I read something else about some Monday shows but I had the wrong context I think. Regardless, thanks for the confirmation.

I JUST WANT TO THROW MY MONEY AT YOU WWE!!!! :'(
Same for me.
1: Did anybody get any type of email confirmation when you successfully setup the WWE Network order? See my post a couple pages back.
2: I'm using the PS3 app. It plays smoothly (I don't care about that FPS mess all I care is can I see it without the frequent pauses). But it is not compatible with the PS3 media remote. The normal function buttons (Play, pause, ff, etc) doesn't work. I have to resort to using the face buttons and the d-wheel. Unintuitive to say the least. I hope that gets corrected in an update.
The Xbox 360 app doesn't recognize my login at all.

Me too.
When I hit "Sign up" on the main page at wwe.com, I'm taken to what appears to be the actual network UI. This is obviously bypassing any billing screens. Weird! The videos obviously don't play. I get this when I try to play one:
Media Error: Video not available
Their shit is broken right now

Yup. I did. Got a confirmation email instantly.
And man sitting here on lunch break watching the first Monday Night Raw. I really miss the WWF. After they went WWE they just lost something. Right now I'm watching the Shawn Michaels Max Moon match for the IC title and I just love watching it. There is actual wrestling unlike now days.

I'm pretty impressed with the video quality. Even the older footage I've looked at looks pretty good.
