See I won't blame WWE for the issues fully. MLBAM has owned up. They thought they weren't expecting that many. The rule in that kind of business is to prepare for the most and expect the least.
I will blame WWE for doing a mass sign up. It should have been a rolling sign up

One quick question. I can't sign up yet (UK), but I was wondering how the PPV system works.
Do you only get to watch a PPV that is being stream live, when its being shown? As in, if you have the network/app, could you watch Wrestlemania 30 after the live broadcast. I ask simply because due to being in the uk, every PPV starts at either midnight or, more commonly, 1am and this will probably be the biggest factor in any future chance I have at getting it (annoyance with the current product not withstanding).
I'm sure this has been asked before and apologies if it has.

Here I am on day 3 and I still can't watch a full show.
I tried on my PS3 earlier. I got the ratings screen and about 10 seconds of Uncensored '95.
I later tried on my iPhone. Ratings screen and 50 seconds (NEW RECORD!) into WrestleMania I.
About ten minutes ago I tried it on my Kindle Fire. Ratings screen and then an error message.
I mean, I can't complain too much since I'm still on the free trial. However, I had intended on keeping the thing when the free week ran out. If Sunday rolls around and this is still going on, there's no way I'm locking myself into six months of a potential shit show.

Still waiting on the Network to be working on the 360 here. Microsoft does have it mentioned on the service page on their site, so presumably the problem is on their end.
Really hoping they get it working soon. While my immediate gut reaction after Raw was to cancel my Network subscription (which I've already done, but it's easy to reactivate it), I admit after I get the chance to actually watch the Network a bit and take advantage of the PPV library I might change my tune on it. But thus far I haven't had the chance to do that and if I don't get the chance to by Monday then they've truly lost me as a buyer.

This is only the kind of shit they'd do to wrestling fans.
"They're used to putting up with shit. Where else they gonna go?" They better extend the free trial.

Wrestlemania 29 worked OK, tried watching Great American Bash 2005 and got absolutely nowhere. Live stream works OK but they must have shown that goddamn Wrestlemania Rewind: "The Mania Begins" about 1000 times already. Would be nice if there was a bit more variety.

Day 3 and the VOD seems to be working well. I was able to watch the second and third episodes of Raw. Only once was there some buffering and it didn't last that long. If the VOD continues to work this well, I'll keep the Network.

The VOD seemed to be working fine for me, as Backlash 2000 was streaming fine (a few hiccups here & there, but that may be a local internet issue due to the weather). Once I got to Dean Malenko/Scotty 2 Hotty, though, the video froze & I was greeted with a "Video Error" message. Again, it may be because of the weather here (brief snowfalls & windy), so I'm not completely writing them off. I do hope that, if it's on their end, they get it fixed soon. If not, I'll be cancelling my free trial & waiting until I hear things get fixed in the future.
They really should've made the Elimination Chamber be the first PPV to test run on this service. If there are issues with Wrestlemania XXX, a good chunk of their customers may leave after their six-month commitment & never come back.

On my PS3 the VOD plays fine, though on Firefox, it keeps saying Media: Video not available.

Couldn't get through the first five minutes of WrestleMania IX (not X) yesterday, so I tried again today. Currently ~20 min in, & everything is flawless so far... Hope I didn't just jinx it. Probably did. Still on the laptop though, & haven't tried the PS3 since day one.

Glad to hear the VOD is starting to work. Can't wait to test it once I get home from work.

Welp, I've been bitching about the network not working on my smartphone for the past two days and I finally got fed up. I went to the WWE network page on facebook and told them about my issue. Less than an hour later they responded and sent me a link to their help center dealing with androids and I was able to fix the issue from there. I gotta say, that's some damn good customer service! Now it's time to dig in and watch some wrestling!

Anyone have a problem with their screen saver turning on while in full screen mode? Normally while watching videos elsewhere, it doesn't turn on if it's in full screen, but is for the network vod. Haven't really watched any live streaming, so I'm not sure about that.
I turned the screen saver off for now, but I'd rather not. Anyone know what to do? Windows 7 BTW.

I wonder when we'll get an update on the number of subscribers who have taken advantage of the free trial.

One question I can't seem to find the answer to:
Is the six month commitment just for your initial six months or does it go into effect at the end of every six months?
