offspring515 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Huge video quality issues on my Roku. Like...8 huge polygons filling the screen. Went out and cant get back in. Looks like an on demand viewing awaits! Now to avoid all social media until.after work tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petey Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 If it helps, I started watching on delay (around or a little before 9PM EST) and the video quality has been fine on my Roku. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranesi Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Carrying over from the PPV. Is anyone else getting constant shockwave crashes whenever they try to watch anything on the network? I have the latest version installed and it's driving me crazy. Live stream, VOD whatever. It's pretty constant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I was having them. I installed Adobe Flash for chrome manually, then typed "chrome://plugins/" into the address bar and disabled the flash player that says "PepperFlash" in the location (make sure to click on "details at the top to see which is which). It worked flawlessly after that. Very annoying though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranesi Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 ha. Did that. That leads to a really specific new problem that I can't figure out. Once I disable that "Pepper" thing, when I try to use chromecast, there is no sound from the t.v. Somehow that plugin is needed or you only get sound from the laptop. Fucking bizarre. But maybe this will at least make it stable to just watch on my laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Its an issue with the latest version of Flash specific to Chrome. Honestly, not much to do now until Adobe updates it with a fix. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
What Would Stan Hansen Do? Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 How much WWF TV from 1989-1994 is available on the Network? I know they haven't put up much territory footage and apparently not a lot of WCW apart from the PPV and Clashes. I'm mostly interested in tv from 1988-1994 or so. The early RAW eps are up, obviously. What about Primetime and Superstars of Wrestling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petey Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 They've uploaded some random house shows that originally aired on Classics on Demand, but yeah nothing besides those and the Raws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petey Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Until they got hired by WCW, how many people were even aware Russo and Ferrara existed? I'm legitimately asking since I wasn't really too deep into internet wrestling news at the time. From stuff that I've read, didn't people seem to (incorrectly) think Shane McMahon was a major catalyst behind the Attitude Era? That angle with Bagwell seems like just another example of Russo assuming people were 'smarter' than they actually were, similar to how he purposefully wore his SF Giants jersey when he cut the Bash at the Beach 2000 promo so that people would know it was a shoot, bro.

offspring515 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Russo was definitely known and talked up as the main force behind the Attitude era stuff among us smarky types. Ferrara to a lesser extent. He was the Boo Boo to Russo's Yogi if you wiiiill. I assume, given what we know now about Russo, that much of that talk was being leaked by him.

I'll take your word for it, but I'm old enough to have watched both WCW and WWF all through the 90's and I had no idea who Russo was until he went to WCW and the "he booked the Attitude Era. He will save WCW!" stuff started. I don't recall being aware of Ferrara until he went onscreen as "Oklahoma". To be fair, I don't remember if I visited any wrestling websites back then, Probably not. Even today, I get almost all current wrestling news from this site (the only other wrestling site i visit is Kayfabe Memories). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

offspring515 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 If I wasn't reading websites ripping off Meltzer I would have had no idea who Russo was until he turned up onscreen in WCW so I get where you're coming from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.K.o.S. Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Rogers apparently signed a new 10 year tv/multimedia deal wih wwe in canada When Rogers made their tv deal with the NHL, the Rogers-owned sports radio station was talking about virtually nothing all day other than that deal. Wondering if this one will get anywhere near that level of coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I presume tim and sid will be only show that discusses it. But sid is filling in for mccown so maybe he brings it up on PTS., esp if Ken Reid is co-host, since Reid is always dropping wrestling references.

S.K.o.S. Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Also wondering if that deal means the days of being able to watch WWE PPVs in movie theatres in Ontario are over. I presume tim and sid will be only show that discusses it.But sid is filling in for mccown so maybe he brings it up on PTS., esp if Ken Reid is co-host, since Reid is always dropping wrestling references. I doubt I'll be able to tolerate Jeff Blair long enough to find out whether he's talking about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Cincinnati Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 The partnership facilitates the launch of WWE Network as a traditional a-la-carte Pay-TV channel in Rogers’ cable systems with a preview beginning August 12 and thereafter through other Pay-TV providers outside Rogers’ footprint. This implies that eventually the Network will be offered by providers other than Rogers. Still shitty news for cord cutters though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Apparently the # of network subscribers is 700k. Over 100k people cancelled their subscriptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bustronaut Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 128K cancelled, with 161K new subscriptions. It's below where they wanted to be, but stock market people are dumb, so the WWE beating the loss prediction by a drop in the bucket means the stock is now up around 10% this morning.

Raziel Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Far as retention rate for a new service, 87% is pretty damn good. Course, since its not in that Million range, stockholders are gonna shit, and the people that want to see the Network fail for whatever reason are gonna do dances and start a deathpool. But 700k for a new service after 6 months is pretty damn good, looking realistically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydneybrown Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I think the 161K add is good and would have put them at about 825K which is about where they should have been if they were realistically going to make their year-end projection. Losing 128K when technically you signed a commitment and you're not even supposed to be allowed to cancel for another month or so is bad. And it could be even worse when the actual six months come up as to how many more then leave. The fact that the international launch is soon, they're addressing issues with the Network pricing, and that the stock price didn't collapse (in fact it went up,) I think WWE is coming out of this fine.

Raziel Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 The 128K loss would be the people not ticking the auto-renew box since the 6 months from launch ends this week (if you count people that went for the free week first). So that's fine, and somewhat expected. And out of those 128K, I'd say half are people dissastified with the current product, the rest are being entitled children pissed that everything they want hasn't been put up yet (Nitro's, more WCCW, more ECW TV, etc). So all and all, the number is about right for something with a 6 month commitment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
