WWE Network... It's Here

[Coffey]

Probably nothing, since Wrestlemania is not until April.

I bet that's what ROH thought too.

[sek69]

I can't log in on my PC, but everything seems to be working fine on my iPhone and on my Android tablet.

[sek69]

Decided to watch Wrestlemania XX first and I can't help at chuckling over seeing white rapper Cena in the opening match.

[Loss]

It's understandable, but seeing "Far From Over" and "Badstreet USA" overdubbed on old NWA shows is sort of soul crushing.

[goodhelmet]

I may not get the network to protest that grave injustice.

[vikingsfan73]

Was finally able to get signed up during my lunch break. First stop, Starrcade '83!

[Dylan Waco]

I have filled out all this shit a few times and it doesn't go through. I have no patience for this, so maybe I should just continue to not give the WWE my money.

[KrisZ]

People are starting to get through now judging from Twitter so it's getting easier

[JNLister]

If you're trying to work out the logic of the Vault section, it's all the random shows that are (or are scheduled in the next few days) airing on the live stream. Theoretically that means it'll fill up over time.

[Dylan Waco]

Honestly this is the most confusing things I've ever seen. I have no clue if I am signed up for the network or not. I am terrified to keep trying because it's obvious that the WWE has no clue what's going on, and I see zero reason to believe I wouldn't be charged for every attempt.

[Minds_Eys]

I finally got signed up. I'm taking the CPA exam tomorrow, but felt weird not being signed up even though I have no time to watch today.

[bradhindsight]

I saw a screenshot from a guy who did try to pay more than once and the WWE gives you a "you have already purchased this content" message. So you should be ok there Dylan (but don't blame you for the frustration).

[WingedEagle]

I signed up without a problem around 930 or so this morning. Cued up Starrcade '88 and while it took a while to load, once it did it streamed very well and I was able to skip throughout the show without any issues. Out for now until after work but looking forward to checking it out more tomorrow night. Has anyone gotten confirmation emails yet? I assume those are also delayed as they adjust to handling the numbers, but curious if others are also waiting on that.

[Loss]

I got one. Registered about an hour before you.

[Guest The Jiz]

WWE issued a release that their provider is overwhelmed by the number of sign-ups. What does this mean, you think? 200,000 already?!?

[bradhindsight]

Bix is tracking on Twitter and he's around that number right now - yes.

[WingedEagle]

I got one. Registered about an hour before you.

 

Hmm. Wonder what's up with that. Just confirmed I entered my email correctly when registering and I'm able to get in without a problem. Will probably sort itself out later.

[WingedEagle]

No idea what expectations were on day 1, but ~200K sounds pretty great for day 1 given how many potential customers are at school/work and unable to sign up until later.

[Dylan Waco]

I will be watching WCW Greed tonight after all

[shoe]

The only device I can get anything to run is the live feed on my I-phone.

[fishbaugh]

Finally got in -- tried to process my billing and was told I'd already signed up. Have had my stream freeze twice, but the quality is higher than I expected. Having to reload the video is a pain, so hopefully they add the ability to continue from where you last ended. I expected that feature from go-live and is a letdown for sure. Great video quality more than balances that out though.

[goc]

If you look at the schedule you can see some stuff that isn't in VOD yet but you can still play. I'm just browsing around now but there's definitely ECW shows on the schedule next week that aren't in the Vault.

[Zero]

Everything has ran smooth for me, other then logging on to 360 but I'm sure that will be fixed over time.

[Steenalized]

Yeah logging on through the 360 is the one thing I still can't do. Hopefully they fix that soon, but it's not a huge deal to me since I use my laptop a lot anyway.

[jdw]

The only complaint I have so far is say you are watching an old PPV like Wrestlemania 3 which is the first thing I picked. I watched a little stopped and went back to browsing. It does not pick up from where you stopped. You have to start it back over from the beginning.

 

Can you simply fast forward / drag the scroll bar back to where you were? It would suck to watch 2 hours of a PPV, have to run out to do something else, comeback later (or the next day) and sit through the same dame 2 hours again.

 

FWIW, I think some of the Olympics replay streaming was like that - no obvious scroll bar to drag / skip forward.
