goc Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 This isn't something that really interests me all that much, but having read quite a bit about it I hope that it lights a fire under WWE to really get their shit together with The Network. The fact that someone else has taken their idea and is arguably doing it better should hopefully give them motivation to start getting it right.

Johnny Sorrow Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 I'm not even much of a Puro fan and I subscribed. 9 bucks a month? Why not? I love wrestling and this is more wrestling. And the HD looks awesome on my laptop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soup23 Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 Their first chance at semi-live coverage didn't go well as the Tag League finals was supposed to be uploaded at Midnight Japan time and is being delayed two hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Sorrow Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 I had a blast last night watching random old shit on the network. I saw a Murdoch vs Abby match that I fucking loved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bix Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Dan - you can't cast tabs in chrome to the chromecast from mobile devices. Only from laptops/desktops. Download Chrome on your regular computer, get the cast extension, and you will be all set There's a "cast screen" option on all Android phones these days.

W2BTD Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Chromecast is highly dependent on the strength of your internet and the configuration of your setup. I could not get Chromecast to work anywhere in my home unless the router was literally inches away, which just isn't a long term option with the way my house is set up. A quick google search will show that many people have similar issues, so buyer beware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JNLister Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 I've found the recently launched TVersity ScreenServer (separate to the main Tversity Media Server software) a great solution. It streams the content of your computer screen to any DNLA-compatible device on your network, which is my case is the PS3. It's not quite perfect as you get some very brief sound glitches/dropouts, but the picture is fine and the video stream uninterrupted. For best results set transcoding to "never" (NJPW World works fine without it) and make sure you've got nothing else running on your PC except your browser. http://tversity.com/download/#ScreenServer http://tversity.com/announcing-the-tversity-screen-server/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Cooke Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 Chromecast or any 'AirPlay' system where you are streaming from one source to another (computer to Apple TV, computer to Chromecast) does require a standard Internet connection but your results are usually going to vary depending on the age and specs of the device you are streaming from. I have a 3rd gen Apple TV, Chromecast, Roku stick, Amazon Fire TV, and a Fire stick coming later this week. In the case of the WWE network, the dedicated app works terrifically on Apple and Amazon (haven't tested much with Roku streaming stick). Yet, when I try. To AirPlay video from a 2014 MacBook air to the Apple TV, there are often issues because of the outdated tech specs in the Apple TV. Casting a tab in Chrome from the MacBook air gives pretty flawless results 98% of the time. It also works fine with a 2012 MacBook Air and 2012 iMac. I recently moved and Comcast gave me a new wireless router/modem hybrid. Comcast has most of their wireless router settings poorly optimized to give you incentive to upgrade to faster speeds. Once I hooked up the Apple Airport Express via Ethernet cable, I was able to essentially triple the speed Comcast was providing on their device without upgrading. Paul and I were able to stream the 12/7 NJ finals in perfect HD directly to Chromecast. I would recommend taking a look at your wireless router settings. Of course, the other alternative is connecting a laptop directly to the TV with an hdmi cable and you take our the middle man in the wireless router.

JNLister Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 There's now a link at the bottom of the page to select English language. You select it once and it's permanently set for your account. It's still Google translations, but does some extra stuff like the text on icons that Chrome doesn't do.

W2BTD Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 They did a little live broadcast last night, which was Hirooki Goto getting tipsy & Tetsuya Naito milking a beer while wearing Santa hats, and the announcement that 2/1 Korakuen Hall & the two New Beginning PPV's on 2/11 & 2/14 will all be airing live. Kidani had spoken at the original presser of maybe just doing the four major PPV live, but it looks like they changed plans, at least for New Beginning(s).

sek69 Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 I decided to order the English PPV version, it's an easier process than to try to juggle electronics to cast to my TV and part of me wants to see if JR can make it through a four hour PPV without beating the shit out of Matt Striker.

Zoo Enthusiast Posted December 25, 2014 Report Share Posted December 25, 2014 I'm up in the air about which I will order. I'll probably wait to make sure they don't get an app out for Roku or PS3 before I order. If they don't, I'll get the English version.

DGinnetty Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 Luckily my PC is close to my 65" TV. I just used an HDMI splitter from my PC, went to my TV, and it looks fantastic! I streamed from my laptop to my TV using Chromecast, and I found the quality to not be as good as the wired connection. Looking forward to watching the Dome show and all that follows!

C.S. Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 Does the Dome show come with NJPW World? Whether it does or not, what are the other ways to see it? I want to keep my options open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricR Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 http://www.avclub.com/article/introduction-brutal-spectacle-new-japan-pro-wrestl-213017 My buddy emailed me this and I figured it made the most sense to post here. My favorite part was when the guy tries to highlight why Tanahashi is worth watching, and wows us with: " He does it all: slow but intricate submission-based wrestling; lightning-quick exchanges where kicks miss heads by inches." Oooooo slow matwork AND strikes that miss but almost hit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
