Hi everyone I'm new to the forum. The network has been a bit of a disappointment thus far. I have a pretty fast high speed internet connection streaming is usually no problem. I watched Wrestlemania 1 without any issues yesterday. Today everything I've tried hasn't worked. I've tried to watch Wrestlemania 29 numerous times, and encountered continuous freezing. WWE needs to get their act together, or face losing tons of customers. Anyone else extremely frustrated?

We all are.
WWE has acknowledged the issue and said they're working with MLB Advanced Media to fix it. They said VOD would work by 6 PM tonight; obviously that hasn't been the case.

I just tried watching a ppv and it was a little better than yesterday, but still unwatchable due to all the starting and stopping.

I expected this to happen. I'm confident this will be resolved in the next week or two. It means the amount of volume they've had has exceeded what they planned for.
Now if I can't watch Wrestlemania 30 on this I'll be mad...

I thought it was finally going to work perfectly for me on my PS3, than 7 or 8mins into the PPV, it keeps starting & stopping constantly. Seems they'll resolve everything eventually, but it's going to take a little while. But if it's not mostly resolved by Sunday night, I'll cancel & won't get the 6 months until I know for sure it's fixed. It does work fine on my desktop though from what I've tried out, but I'd prefer to watch it on my TV than on my computer.

My main issue is, I don't really want to watch a show from the very beginning to end. I want to fast forward to the part I want to watch (which is hard as it is since it doesn't display where you're at, only the time you're at). Like, I've never seen a World War 3 match so I wanted to watch one, but not the WHOLE PPV. So I fast forward an hour and a half through the show and it never starts again. I go out and go back in, which I heard would start you where you left off, but nope, starts from the beginning again and when I fast forward, freezes again. Eh, I'm not paying for it anyways, just wanted to free week, but I was hoping it would work for the week I had it.

For example, I have WrestleWar 92 up and am trying to watch it but if I wanted to skip to the War Games main event, I know where to jump to thanks to the dots.

I had no problems last night but tonight much more buffering and for very long periods. Been trying to watch WCW and WWE but pretty much the same with both

I'm a little disappointed some of the random videos I've searched for haven't loaded, but it's still a pretty new service so some hiccups are to be expected.

I actually haven't had much of a problem today... granted I only watched one thing on demand today... but I actually managed to watch it.

I didn't get them at all on WrestleWar 91. I'll see if I can get a pic a little later.

Ah, makes sense then. So far I've only tried World War 3 95 and Royal Rumble 92 (can you tell I enjoy battle royals?).
At the very least, today I was able to fast forward and the program actually loaded up after about 10 seconds! Sure, it then started to stop every fifteen seconds after, but its improving at least.

This is what the match indicators look like on PS3 (sorry about the quality, all I could do was take a picture of my TV): Spoiled for size {Spoiler}{Spoiler} Event is Heatwave 98. White dots are the start of a match, red dots the end.

It's working the best for me on PS3 right now. It also works on about as good on my two desktops. On my chromebook though there is no hope. It is just completely screwed on the chromebook. I honestly can't get it to work very well in the chrome browser on my desktops either. Firefox seems to work okay for me though.

If you hover on the dots, it'll tell you what happens at that particular moment on PC. Nothing like having a match "spoiled" by hovering over a dot and it reading "Undertaker Tombstones Vader For The Pin".
Cool feature though.

During the day it works, now during normal watching hours (after 6 PM Eastern through 2 AM) it starts having problems really peaking around 9. One thing I also notice related to the lag -- All video is streamed at 1080P. This isn't always needed, they easily due 720 or have intermittent adjustments. Netflix does a great job of this, when theres a slower buffer the pictures becomes a little blurry but the movie keeps playing. I'm guessing there's probably a licensing issue with this technology, its simple for MLB Networking to recreate but someone else owns it. As for skipping through the episode, on Playstation I could do this with the L & R buttons.

I heard the highest they were going was 720.
