Let me rephrase my complaint. I understand that things are rolled out slowly but it needs to be done with some sort of rhyme or reason. No point in watching random episodes of World Class if there's no continuity. I already have DVD's of most stuff that interests me from the network as it is today. At some point having it as "background noise" (as Loss mentions) will grow old for me and I don't care too much about their current product.

 

I also realise that I'm not really the main kind of customer they are looking after.

 

And as John Lister pointed out, I don't see the point of taking things down other than to be cheap with disk space. So I'm hopeful this is just a period they are using to test out the technology.

For what's its worth, I just asked the @askwwenetwork Twitter account about stuff disappearing and whether it was policy or glitch and they replied "Nothing from our VOD library will be removed unless for a substantial reason."

 

It seems like they are (if haphazardly) getting towards consecutive order on the vault stuff. When they briefly added the shows for next week to the vault (before quickly removing them) they had three consecutive episodes of WCCW which covered the build-up and payoff to Flair-Von Erich.

I'd bet the yanking disappears pretty soon. The yanking has been haphazard so far, which says to me that they're trying things out and getting their house in order, rather than acting on a policy. Once they tech is stable and they get the scheduling running well I think we'll see a very stable library.

I haven't watched the network on a consistent basis since last Thursday's NXT special. I have watched some Marc Mero matches (that I already own) and skimmed through some of the newer content released but it still really bugs me that they have no rhyme or reason on what is airing. If I am a fan of Old School, I should be able to expect the new (old) MSG shows are aired at 7:00 on a Saturday night. If new WCCW shows are airing, I want to see them air every Tuesday at 4 or 5 pm. It's all way too random for my tastes right now. The only "random" part I like are the commercials and skits they roll out to kill time until the top of the hour.

The xbox app is brutal:

 

- Only WWE ppvs. WCW and ECW are not there

 

- PPVs are sorted by title, not by year

 

- A glitch, because it wasn't like this yesterday, but at least the Royal Rumble and Wrestlemania archives do not go past the most recent show

 

- No search function

 

- Moving through the app is much less seamless than on the roku

 

I haven't used the 360 for games in some time, so when the Roku stick comes out, I think I'll put that away. The wwe app is great on that device. I can wrap my head around some of the look of an app being different across devices, but the gaps/glitches in content is so weird.

Strangely, I can view all of the Royal Rumbles, but have not been able to view any Summer Slam or Wrestlemania's beyond the most recent year.

 

I've had quite a go with Network Support on Twitter, and I have come to the conclusion that they have zero idea what is wrong with the app for X-Box.

 

Here is a taste.....

 


@AskWWENetwork I also can not see WCW or ECW PPV's on X-Box 360. Also have the issue with Mania and Summer Slam only showing last year.

 

@Blehschmidt Thx for your patience while we work on improving our Network! We are sending this information to our tech team for review. ^RA

 

@AskWWENetwork I have also been noticing lag followed by speedy catch up on the live stream. Cache has been cleared, app un and re installed

 

@Blehschmidt We're regularly adding new content to the Network. We've taken note of your situation, and will notify our technical team. ^RGV

 

@Blehschmidt We appreciate your feedback. May we ask which device and operating system (if applicable) you are using? Thanks! ^AD

 

@AskWWENetwork I am only having issues with the X-Box 360. The network works fine on my other devices.

 

@Blehschmidt Are you still having trouble with videos lagging on your Xbox 360? ^RGV

 

@AskWWENetwork Yes. It slows down like slow-mo, then looks as if it is fast forwarding to catch up. The sound however does not lag at all.

 

@Blehschmidt Try signing out, uninstalling the WWE App, rebooting the Xbox 360. Afterwards, re-install the App and login again. ^RGV

 

@AskWWENetwork I've done that twice. I have also cleared the cache of the 360.

 

@Blehschmidt We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience as we work to improve your viewing experience. ^KJ

The 360 getting shitty apps is nothing new as both Youtube and Netflix were awful for a long time on there. Sucks but it seems to be a common thing.

I finally got the network to work on Firefox. I had to reinstall flash and that seemed to do the trick. I still can't even sign in on the PS3. Called WWE network support and they didn't seem to know what was the problem either. I'm supposed to get a call from an "executive" tomorrow so see how that goes.

 

Try changing your site password. I had the same issue as you, but with iPhone, and that fixed it.

 

Another possibility: Are you pressing X to sign in? Press O.
