Posted January 16, 201510 yr comment_5649713 Winged Eagle wanted this poll created and I think it is an interesting survey. You can choose more than one answer.
January 16, 201510 yr comment_5649722 I have the Apple TV and it's been great for me. Really zero hangups at all since I started watching it. Interestingly enough, I have this computer hooked up to the TV that I use as a server to have all my files in one spot (Wrestling, DVDs, etc.), but that's become the way I watch NJPW World, too. If they do get an app on the Apple TV somehow, I'd be stoked, but that's not happening anytime soon.
January 16, 201510 yr comment_5649723 PS3 for watching. Never had any significant problem past day two, though WrestleMania and a couple of the NXT specials are the only things I've watched live. I've used Chrome on PC, an iPhone and Android devices, but only for checking the schedule or browsing the archives to see if they have something.
January 17, 201510 yr comment_5649730 I voted Roku, as I got a Roku stick a few weeks ago with their promotion. Before that, I would watch it on my laptop, and rarely watched it outside of PPVs and NXT live specials. I watch a bit more now, but the mess of a search and lack of chapters on the PPVs is annoying.
January 17, 201510 yr comment_5649734 The same way I watch porn. By myself, blinds closed, lights off, leaning close into my laptop... The majority of the time I watch it on my laptop. If one of my buddies is in town, I will hook it up to my tv. I think I watched The Network on my phone once only to see if it really works.
January 17, 201510 yr comment_5649736 I've been PS3 from day one and if I didn't have that I'm not sure I would. I don't mind watching wrestling from Japan on the computer since there's really no way for me to get it on the big screen, but if I didn't have a way to blast the network on the TV I doubt I'd be willing to pay for it.
January 17, 201510 yr comment_5649738 Computer for me with the HDMI hookup to the big screen for the "special events"
January 17, 201510 yr comment_5649741 I don't subscribe and don't want it. I checkout my friends account sometimes for NXT only, but I really could just torrent it for free if I cared enough. There's absolutely nothing on the network for me. New shows and things to make me tune in each week? None, minus NXT, which I don't count. Old footage that hasn't been aired on 24/7 or made available? Nope. I have more stuff in my own collection than WWE has on the network at this point, which is sad. The only way they could get me is if they started being a real network by putting out brand new programming and showing old seasons in full. The fact that they can't even produce a 5-minute daily news show of some sort, yet alone a 30-minute show or more, just shows how little effort is put into this thing.
January 17, 201510 yr comment_5649759 The fact that they can't even produce a 5-minute daily news show of some sort, yet alone a 30-minute show or more, just shows how little effort is put into this thing. That would be an incredible waste of time and money for very little reward. It wouldn't drive a single new person to subscribe to the Network, and most of the episodes would remain unwatched. A 5-minute daily news show is an outdated concept when WWE.com and the rest of the web exist, and I can't imagine anything else compelling enough that the WWE could devote 30 minutes a day to. But you're right, the WWE Network has a lot of problems content-wise. I just don't think your ideas are viable solutions to those problems.
January 17, 201510 yr comment_5649762 Dude, we already have a thread for complaining about the network. lol
January 17, 201510 yr comment_5649784 I have the Apple TV and it's been great for me. Really zero hangups at all since I started watching it. Interestingly enough, I have this computer hooked up to the TV that I use as a server to have all my files in one spot (Wrestling, DVDs, etc.), but that's become the way I watch NJPW World, too. If they do get an app on the Apple TV somehow, I'd be stoked, but that's not happening anytime soon. I have a similar set up (though my computer is not hooked up to a TV) and I use an ipad to stream from the Macbook to the Apple TV, and also use the ipad to stream from NJPW World's website to the TV sharing the screen. I have a friend who has got a Time Capsule with a hacked Apple TV and that's a wonderful set up, the problem is that it's costly and my Apple TV is one of the new ones that can't be hacked apparently (I have not done any research).
January 17, 201510 yr comment_5649789 I have a ps3 so I use that. I'm thinking of switching to a blu ray player, since I hardly play video games but I would still use that. I don't like watching stuff on my computer and anytime I do, I use my HDMI cable to hook it up to the tv.
January 17, 201510 yr comment_5649790 Roku 3 that has worked great 99% of the time. I also occasionally watch on my phone if things are super slow at work.
January 17, 201510 yr comment_5649791 Mac mini with my tv as the screen. Much better than casting between media.
January 17, 201510 yr comment_5649795 Wrestling doesn't interface with the rest of my life so it's either on the cpu (at work usually. I have the docus on in the background while working, but on the bike too; ppvs while multitasking and doing other things like watching TV with my family), or on the tablet at home sometimes. I haven't tried it on a TV yet.
January 17, 201510 yr comment_5649797 Roku Stick attached to an HDMI port on my television. Incredibly convenient and works great.
January 17, 201510 yr comment_5649807 Laptop HDMI hooked up to my TV. I have a smart bluray player but unfortunately their app isn't available for it yet.
January 17, 201510 yr comment_5649809 Roku 3 here as well, but occasionally PS3/4. Haven't tried it on my phone in months.
January 17, 201510 yr comment_5649817 I was one of the few votes for phone/tablet, but that's a very small percentage of my viewing. Most happens on a Roku 2 or 3. I will say the Android app is pretty good.

But you're right, the WWE Network has a lot of problems content-wise. I just don't think your ideas are viable solutions to those problems. Totally disagree. I listen to podcasts daily and most people I know seem to also. Day to day, there is nothing there to make me tune into the network which is a big problem.
