HumanChessgame Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Will they be live streaming Raw and Smackdown on there? That's what would tip the scales for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Sweetser Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Apple TV makes you pay the full $60 up front instead of 10 a month, apparently. Only if you purchase the subscription through iTunes. You can still use your regular WWE.com account with the Apple TV WWE Network app, like I am right now.

Tromatagon Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 The stream keeps dying so I haven't screencapped much, but you see me in the audience at Wrestlemania 2000 approximately 2000 times if you know where to look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ultimoDANK Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I still can't get it to show me much of anything. Watching with google chrome on a macbook pro. Just be patient? I'd just shoot Joe a text. He'll have one of the WWE's top tech guys on the phone 20 minutes flat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LooseCannon Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 So far? only you, Negative Nancy Seriously, though, there has to be a standard estimate of the percentage of people who don't stick around after free trials. Some of the blogs I follow are all over free trial deals. It's going to be awesome when all the one weekers forget to bail and are locked in for six months That's part of the profit model for things like this. It's like people who forget to mail in rebate forms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kropotkin's Beard Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Yeah, I guess they've finally gotten around to blocking foreign IPs from connecting. It plays the "this may not be suitable" message, then the "TV-PG" or whatever notice and then just throws up one of a couple of errors. Not unexpected, but still rather disappointing. I mean the internet is an international thing, the WWE is a global company, and our money is as good as any other buggers. Oh well, guess my day off tomorrow will have to be back to the original plan of sitting around, listening to vinyl and reading. Not quite as much fun.

piranesi Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 If it was just the Bobby Heenan and Sherri Martel network, it would already be worth the $10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victor Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 They're supposed to have replays after it airs though Meltzer seemed to think they'd be up 30 days later, for some reason. This is also mentioned in the FAQ page on that website network. Signed up with no problem on my desktop PC, watched a World Class and an Eastern Championship Wrestling show from the On Demand thing. Minor stalls but no real problems. Even if I only watch on weekends it's still worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuerrillaMonsoon Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Stayed up till 1am to subscribe. Site crashed. Fell asleep, got woken up at 2am. Tried again. Still no good. Managed to subscribe 15 minutes before heading off to work. Fully Loaded 2000 seemed to work. Debating the usage of my last 6 hours of annual leave.

victor Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 From their FAQ page: "Yes, 2012 and 2013 replays of Raw and SmackDown are available on WWE Network's ever-growing video-on-demand library. Current episodes of RAW and SmackDown will be available on-demand 30 days after their original air date on USA and Syfy." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cole Miner Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Bix is saying 220k now. Looks like a huge success already. I've been hearing Alvarez for weeks use the RAW ratings as the line of "all the WWE potential viewers" at 2.5 to 3 million or whatever and saying "No way they get 2/3 of that." But the Nielson ratings are so flawed and only useful because maybe they're equally flawed for every show. But in terms of real numbers, does anyone really think that their total potential audience is actually the 3 million that Nielson says watches RAW? For all we know they could 30% off for every show. They could only get 25-30% of their actual regular viewers, but we really don't know how many that actually is. Wade Keller mentioned a while back the number of people WWE said buy 2-3 PPVs per year. Can't remember the exact number but it over a million and a better gauge than ratings. That is information they can get from the PPV providers so it should be trustworthy.

A Guy Named Tracy Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I can only watch the live feed and on demand content in The Vault category. However I cannot watch any of the pay per views or any other on-demand shows. It is the same for my phone and PS3. I continuously get in error that says the video cannot be played at this time.
