shoe Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 From today's F4 Weekly. I'm a little worried about Wrestlemania now. It's entirely possible that maybe they should've gone with a slightly longer trial period and held the event at the end of that. Right now, there are definitely questions, however, about the network being able to handle WrestleMania, and someone who works for WWE told us in an unofficial capacity that there's no way WWE can fix the problem without another big live stream test. That person advised ordering the regular PPV to avoid any issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyonthewall2983 Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Hopefully all hands will be on deck to make sure this goes smoothly. I want this to succeed because it's a venture not worthy of being taken down by these kinds of problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmare007 Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 I hope they are smarter than thinking the HOF ceremony could be used as the last big test for the stream before Wrestlemania... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 They should just run another live stream test. Like how they always had those Road to Wrestlemania Specials on USA. (Summerslam spectacular, etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantherwagner Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 If you sign up from Europe for this, can you use it on your PS3 or Apple TV or do you have to use it with your laptop using a US proxy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheapshot Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Put the proxy settings in your router and you should be good to go on your apple TV etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantherwagner Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 So it is geoblocked? I have my own proxy but it's slow and capped at 50 GB/month (so using it on my router settings is something I don't want to do). I read somewhere that you only needed it to sign up. I will wait for the UK version to be released late in the year ... unless they somehow decide to put the entire WCW Saturday Night run there. WWF Superstars may actually do the trick too though.

Timbo Slice Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 At this point, there are restrictions on how to access the Network. It's a similar restriction rule to blackout policies in pro sports. Right now, it's I believe US and Canada only, so if you run off an international proxy, you will indeed get geoblocked.

BlueGuy Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 It's not available in Canada. Has anyone been able to fix the frame rate (film-like look) issues that people on other boards have described? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Looks like all of the 2013 episodes of Smackdown are up now. RAW is there back to September and looks like it's still growing. People on Twitter are saying there's WCW Worldwide episodes from 1993 there now, but I don't see them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Childs Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Definitely working much better on Roku now, for what that's worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shakla Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 A (likely partial) list of edits on the Network: http://www.f4wonline.com/more/more-top-stories/96-wwe/35697-a-look-at-wwe-network-edits A few Qs: Has the cursing on the 2000 Russo WCW PPVs been bleeped/muted? Not just on his Bash at the Beach promo, but I remember Spring Stampede or something like that having a lot of muted audio (including when Hogan was looking for Bischoff backstage) on the WWE On-Demand version. How has Jesse Ventura/Gary Michael Capetta audio been handled? I think Meltzer said there may be an issue, but with this platform rather than home video, it may differ.

flyonthewall2983 Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Ventura and Capetta are everywhere. As is Michael Buffer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People on Twitter are saying there's WCW Worldwide episodes from 1993 there now, but I don't see them. Raw goes all the way back to the beginning of 2012 (the Jan 1,2012 show to be exact) - you can select the year in the drop down box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JazeUSA Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 The Roku 3 wasn't working 4 me on VOD as of this morning. I'd get an error message after 2 minutes of great video. So I'd save your money on the Roku. there is no issue with the Roku, the issue is with VOD, Roku is simply AWESOME Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimmas Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 VOD is perfect on my ps3 now too. What I love is I finally get to watch WCW ppvs all the way through, instead of those home releases that cut out so many matches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Sorrow Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Watching Mania three for shits and giggles and Monsoon said Orton has excellence of execution. I forgot he used to say that about a few guys before it became Hart's line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Sorrow Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 How many other feuds went to as many promotions in as short a time as Billy Jack vs Hercules Hernandez? They worked Florida, World Class, and WWF all in what, three years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoe Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 There's a new Old School show up also - 12/22/91 MSG show. Their's also a MLG 4/21/85, Some more WCCW shows, and another roundtable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pantherwagner Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 I found a service (www.unblock-us.com , free trial for a week too) that only requires a DNS change so I could set it up on my Apple TV without speed/performance loss.

I have used that and it works flawlessly. I know it's going to be realiable, because a lot of people I know use it to get NHL Game Center to change where they are to get every game of their team. I will be sticking with it, until the Network comes to Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
