February 26, 201411 yr comment_5590713 To Loss' point, it is important to remember that the VOD is MLB Advanced Media and the live stream is a sep group (our Scott C works for that company). NXT live on Thursday is a great dress run for them, especially with all the free trial volume still there. I've had no issue with VOD on the PS3 today - went to watch the live stream '77 MSG card and it gave me the option to start from the beginning, which was cool (and seamless - and it has time markers for scrolling).
February 26, 201411 yr comment_5590714 Any signs of the AWA yet? Anyone tried "Bockwinkel" or "Bockwinkle" in the search engine?

PS3 seems to be working a lot better today then the last couple of days. The chapters at the bottom for each match is great. It makes it so easy. They seem to be there on all of the WWE and ECW PPVs. There are even chapters on on the old ECW and WCCW shows also. Maybe they are gradually showing up. They are not on most of the old NWA shows as of yet. Hopefully they will show up on there also. I have been trying to watch Starracde 86 the last two days with not much luck. Its great they have the nearly 4 hour version on there.
February 26, 201411 yr comment_5590724 Like Dylan mentioned earlier. At my work I saw a few kids in the 18 age group on break watching the network. Monday night when I was doing laundry a group of 12 year olds were watching it on their phones so this could make wrestling "cool" again or possibly bring in the next boom era.
February 26, 201411 yr comment_5590725 Also with my Roku 3 I had my VOD start then crap out after a few minutes.
February 26, 201411 yr comment_5590726 Every time I tried to scroll on VOD it crashed. Still the live feed is gold and is very encouraging for the ppvs.
February 26, 201411 yr comment_5590729 Also with my Roku 3 I had my VOD start then crap out after a few minutes. Same here.
February 26, 201411 yr comment_5590730 WWE is producing so much first-run content and giving so much archive access to their fans that I do worry about eventual burnout and overexposure, but that's nothing new, and in 2014, more content usually means more money.
February 26, 201411 yr comment_5590738 Any signs of the AWA yet? Anyone tried "Bockwinkel" or "Bockwinkle" in the search engine? I did that on Monday, and received only a link to him as WCW Commissioner.
February 26, 201411 yr comment_5590744 For Roku users, check your parental controls. VOD is getting better and my guess will be running at 95% by the weekend How do I check my parental controls for Roku?
February 26, 201411 yr comment_5590757 One thing I hope will come through this, by way of the search feature, is a move away from judging wrestlers on great matches; instead, I hope wrestlers become judged a little more on their body of work and on trends and patterns over time. Also, maybe a bit more watching of things in at least some context, instead of just island hopping from one acclaimed MOTYC to the next.
February 26, 201411 yr comment_5590758 For Roku users, check your parental controls. VOD is getting better and my guess will be running at 95% by the weekend How do I check my parental controls for Roku? Roku doesn't have parental controls. Check the parental controls on the WWE network itself
February 26, 201411 yr comment_5590761 Two things I did on Roku that I have no idea if it really changed anything but all of the sudden I got ECW stuff 1. On the WWE network account parental controls, switch between on and off and then save 2. On your Roku account page, set your PIN preferences to "don't need a PIN to make a purchase".

Thanks for the help but I tried that but it didn't work. Edit: Just got it to work. Thanks everyone for all the help.
February 26, 201411 yr comment_5590765 PS3 is working way better today so far than the past two days.
February 26, 201411 yr comment_5590766 Set up the app on PS3 late last night/early this morning and it worked great. They were showing a MSG card from 4-6 am and it reminded me of a 80s WWF version of those All Nighters WCW used to randomly do on TBS. Xbox 360 still wasn't letting me log in, but I think that's mainly because they updated the old shitty WWE app for the network and I'd wager that broke something.
February 26, 201411 yr comment_5590775 Forgot to post these earlier: My WWE Network primer: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1971065-everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-launch-of-wwe-network And my day 1 review: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1972889-wwe-network-early-impressions-and-review-after-launch Coming in the next hour or two: Article about the today's conference call about NXT ArRIVAL/developmental in general that Paul Levesque held w/ various wrestling writers.
February 26, 201411 yr comment_5590776 PS3 is working way better today so far than the past two days. No doubt - i've ran the live stream and VOD all day on the PS3 without issue. Btw - they kept in WWF-centric commercials on the PPVs. Just saw one advertising future live shows including a RAW coming to the First Union Center in 2001 (with the Rock and Stone Cold too!).
February 26, 201411 yr comment_5590784 Managed to get the network working in the UK, looks amazing, don't know where to start. Need to get a pimp match thread going if one hasn't been started already....

February 27, 201411 yr comment_5590805 According to the Observer the plan is to put up all the MSG shows that were taped in the next few months.
February 27, 201411 yr comment_5590806 According to the Observer the plan is to put up all the MSG shows that were taped in the next few months. Has to be something new in there right?
February 27, 201411 yr comment_5590808 I also hope they don't take them down sporadically. It'll be cool to search by year and make your way through (if you haven't seen the footage already).
February 27, 201411 yr comment_5590811 On a PS3, just watched matches from Buried Alive 1996. Started with Austin/HHH and then skipped ahead to Taker/Mankind with no buffering or issues. On Demand seems to be improving.
February 27, 201411 yr comment_5590812 According to the Observer the plan is to put up all the MSG shows that were taped in the next few months. Did it say anything about the shows from Boston, Philadelphia and Toronto?
