December 7, 201410 yr comment_5644024 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.
December 7, 201410 yr comment_5644029 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.
December 7, 201410 yr comment_5644147 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.
December 8, 201410 yr comment_5644249 I had a blast last night watching random old shit on the network. I saw a Murdoch vs Abby match that I fucking loved.
December 8, 201410 yr comment_5644319 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.
December 8, 201410 yr comment_5644321 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.
December 8, 201410 yr comment_5644351 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/

Don't have any android devices but that makes a good case for having one eventually
December 9, 201410 yr comment_5644464 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.
December 10, 201410 yr comment_5644659 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.

I was hoping to do this off my phone or Kindle, but casting from my laptop or PC will be fine for now. Dan
December 24, 201410 yr comment_5646838 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).
December 24, 201410 yr comment_5646840 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.
December 25, 201410 yr comment_5646865 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.
December 26, 201410 yr comment_5646943 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! Dan

December 26, 201410 yr comment_5647049 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.
December 29, 201410 yr comment_5647294 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?
