February 24, 201411 yr comment_5590150 WWE Network and ObamaCare are trying to outdo each other. Funny. I'll wait to get it until the technical difficulties subside. Not having all the Raws available (seriously, only the first 9?) is annoying. If you like your $60 PPVs, you can keep your $60 PPVs.
February 24, 201411 yr comment_5590151 http://www.awfulannouncing.com/2014/february/the-wwe-network-launch-is-off-to-a-rough-start.html "In fact, you could argue that the launch couldn't have gone worse." Nonsense. The fact that so many people are trying to sign up is a good thing for WWE. Nobody is going to decide not to subscribe to the network simply because they had a an issue signing up right at launch. Now, if the problems persist through Wrestlemania, the torches and pitchforks will be out.
February 24, 201411 yr comment_5590152 I agree that it's a positive. It's rare that something like this just launches without any problems. It just doesn't happen.
February 24, 201411 yr comment_5590153 I'm sure that MLBAM has never experienced anything like this before so they are having to learn as well.
February 24, 201411 yr comment_5590154 Found out WWE Network is blocked at my work, so I'm going to have to wait to get into it and play around. Turns out, that may be for the better as I don't think I'll have much luck now anyway.
February 24, 201411 yr comment_5590155 They have a landing page up when you try to order so they can have people queued up instead of having them smash the order page all at once, so there's some improvement.
February 24, 201411 yr comment_5590156 Any news as to when the network will be spreading to Canada/the UK/other hotbeds?
February 24, 201411 yr comment_5590157 It seems like people in the UK can sign up now with a fake/real US address as long as the form of payment is legit.
February 24, 201411 yr comment_5590158 I had no problem on my laptop and phone earlier today, but now that I got back home and tried to use my 360 I'm having issues. The app downloaded fine, but I can't log in. Oddly, the website is working perfectly.
February 24, 201411 yr comment_5590159 I've been trying to sign-up off and on since 7:00am PST and can't get it to go. I finally made it to the actual sign-up page, entered my billing, and that keeps saying "There was an error processing your request. Please try again later." This has happened 5 or 6 times now! Pretty frustrating, and a lot more difficult than I would have expected.
February 24, 201411 yr comment_5590160 I had no problem signing up for the free trial, but I can't get them to take my money.
February 24, 201411 yr comment_5590161 After unsuccessful attempts to create an account via the network page, I was able to create a wwe.com account without much issue and clicked on the free trial option. But the video is not available. Going to try to log back in and out and see if that makes any difference.
February 24, 201411 yr comment_5590162 I tried for an hour and a half to sign up on my laptop and couldn't get past the billing page. I grabbed my iPad and was able to register and go thru. Have no idea if it makes a difference. Just worked for me. I am now watching Starrcade 86 and coming in great on Apple tv.
February 24, 201411 yr comment_5590163 Is everyone happy with the VQ (when it's not buffering)? I know there were fears up front about the streaming aspect if it causing a "film-like" look.
February 24, 201411 yr comment_5590164 No film like look at all but I have only watched WCW stuff so far. Some quality is better than others, but it's all been excellent to this point.
February 24, 201411 yr comment_5590165 I was looking at the free trial and it asks for payment info because I guess it kicks in after the free week. Are you allowed to cancel at the end of the free trial (before payments begin) if you don't want to subscribe or by signing up for the free trial are you essentially signing up for the first 6 months? Also, it will be really fascinating to hear metrics on this thing after a few months....like what people are watching most/least, patterns in viewership, etc.

February 24, 201411 yr comment_5590167 Still can't sign up, and it logged me out of my WWE.com account. I forgot my password and it won't send me a new one. Will try again later. Day one issues were to be expected, but it's still disappointing. What's going to happen when everyone is trying to stream WrestleMania?
February 24, 201411 yr comment_5590170 WWE Network and ObamaCare are trying to outdo each other. Funny. I'll wait to get it until the technical difficulties subside. Not having all the Raws available (seriously, only the first 9?) is annoying. If you like your $60 PPVs, you can keep your $60 PPVs. TBH, I'd never pay $60 for a PPV. I'll either skip or stream. WWE Network's price is fine, but there's no point in paying for something until those technical issues are resolved being that I rarely have to worry about that with Hulu.
February 24, 201411 yr comment_5590171 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. But overall I am pretty happy and really surprised at the video quality. My only hope is they add a lot more old school stuff like primetime, worldwide and anything from the territories. Also after using both Apple tv and PS3 I can say I like the Apple tv menu and navigation better and have had zero trouble getting anything to load and just minor buffer problem so far. But once you get a PPV to load on the PS3 which I have had a lot of trouble doing, its great on PS3 as you can go to particular points of the card just by using the controller. It has chapters on the bottom and which match is is and you can click on the controller and go right to what you want which is great. Apple does not do this.
February 24, 201411 yr comment_5590173 I guess it was because I chose the free trial option, but I was finally able to enter my payment info only for it to go to a Not Found page. It still lets me log in and watch everything though.
February 24, 201411 yr comment_5590174 I got the error message after giving payment . Told me to try again. Looked at my account and I had been charged.
February 24, 201411 yr comment_5590175 Finally in! Wanted to watch Fall Brawl 1994 War Games, but that's buffering like crazy. The live stuff is working perfectly on my iPhone. Currently showing Cesaro/Cena from last week, so not a bad consolation prize.
February 24, 201411 yr comment_5590176 I got the error message after giving payment . Told me to try again. Looked at my account and I had been charged. I got the same thing, but I tried to log in and it worked. So maybe try that. The only thing is nothing will play right now for me.
