February 28, 201411 yr comment_5591050 With Roku it seems that if you play or fast forward, it takes a while for the video to get into 1080p. Not sure if that applies to all devicies.
February 28, 201411 yr comment_5591054 Picture quality went in & out a couple times during Zayn/Cesaro. HD one second, blurry the next. Only lasted for a couple seconds and no big deal. It also locked up early for about a minute, then continued fine from there. On a couple other occasions it seemed to rewind about 3-5 seconds and then continue playing without a problem. That match was awesome though, so who cares. They definitely need to make sure the live stream works well for Mania, because if it doesn't there will be major uproar. Hopefully a couple other live shows before then to test it out.
February 28, 201411 yr comment_5591065 The Sami match was really good. Simply amazing how good Generico has been for years. Never get tired of seeing that guy work. He was able to emote while wearing a mask (only Mysterio is comparable) and now that he has it off...its gone up another level. There is no way this guy is going to be a huge babyface in WWE.
February 28, 201411 yr comment_5591067 Watching the Arrival on the PS3 and the picture has been great. Loved the Zayn/Cesaro match.
February 28, 201411 yr comment_5591096 Yeah the WWE really blew it tonight. You can't use the "well it was only the Roku or the Xbox" excuse either because pretty much everyone get screwed. It wasn't working on phones or PC that well either. At least not mine and probably a lot of people. Shame as well because even without the main event that was a great show. Lots of people are going to become fans of NXT after tonight.
February 28, 201411 yr comment_5591100 It's good that it happened now. It would be far worse for them to head into Wrestlemania unaware there is a problem.
February 28, 201411 yr comment_5591106 It's good that it happened now. It would be far worse for them to head into Wrestlemania unaware there is a problem. I agree but there is a old saying about making a good first impression. Since this is the only live show until Wrestlemania with any significant viewership, there isn't much to let people know that the problems were getting better. You just have to assume it got better
February 28, 201411 yr comment_5591107 I understand that. I think WWE should have managed expectations better. I've been part of tech launches before and understand some of the problems that are always there, so I'm pretty patient. But I realize not everyone is. That said, no major technological launch goes off without a problem. It's in WWE's best interests to fix it, and I'm confident they will for that simple reason. When things go South like this, the key is someone in a leadership position who is willing to make heads roll if needed in order to get it right. I think we both know Vince will have no problem assuming that role if that's what's needed.
February 28, 201411 yr comment_5591110 I find it really funny that Roku has an updated/upgraded version of the WWE Network. Haven't been able to test its effectiveness but man wish they would have thought of this 2 or 3 hours ago.
February 28, 201411 yr comment_5591112 And this was a big test for MLBAM since they handle the streaming.....they have 38 days to get it fixed. Good news is the VOD improved a lot today on the PS3
February 28, 201411 yr comment_5591115 I'm annoyed I haven't been able to enjoy it on Roku for more than a few minutes since launch. Intellectually, I believe Loss' argument for patience. But the turd in my punchbowl seemed pretty large during the failed NXT broadcast. Sometimes, you just want your shiny new toy to work.
February 28, 201411 yr comment_5591125 Their is an update on twitter for the Roku. The VOD seems to work now. Even with the update Starcade 84 still seems to kick me off the app. Can other Roku users see if Srarcade 84 kicks them off the network?
February 28, 201411 yr comment_5591127 WWE network responds to technical issues toniightDuring tonight's live NXT ArRIVAL special, we unfortunately experienced technical difficulties, which are to be expected when launching a new digital network. We will work aggressively to solve these glitches and deliver quality service. The complete event will be available on-demand overnight. they need to bring back this screen for the network
February 28, 201411 yr comment_5591156 Somewhat embarrassing confession for a tech writer, but it turns out my PS3 was fine. The problem was actually that my Dynamic IP address had changed, which confused the proxy service I use (which is a simple one-click fix once you realise what's up.) Fortunately that meant I only watched the first hour of NXT (confirming the "watch from beginning" feature works fine) and went to bed before the stream glitches, which probably would have sent me into a rage.
February 28, 201411 yr comment_5591157 Solomon Crowe should take credit for hacking the NXT Arrival Main Event and feud with Adrian Neville. Just listened to P2B podcast, awesome.

Even with the update Starcade 84 still seems to kick me off the app. Can other Roku users see if Srarcade 84 kicks them off the network? Haven't tried Starrcade '84 but I still get kicked off the Network when I try to watch WrestleMania Rewind. All the other VOD stuff seemed to work fine this morning. Didn't watch NXT last night but judging by the technical issues, I'm hoping that they get all of this stuff fixed for WrestleMania.
February 28, 201411 yr comment_5591187 I have to say, this is so good I'm in fear I'll forget the Hannibal premiere tonight.

March 1, 201411 yr comment_5591218 Is there any way to determine how much bandwidth is used by HD video on the network?
March 1, 201411 yr comment_5591224 Is there any way to determine how much bandwidth is used by HD video on the network? My understanding is about 5 megabits per second for the highest quality stream.
March 1, 201411 yr comment_5591229 Watching the Legends Of Wrestling roundtable about awful characters. Dusty cracks me up a few times, especially the "three for them, two for me" bit.
