What is the best way to stream the network to.your tv? Just curious which option seems least problematic/ which seems to be best option.

I love the Roku. The layout looks so much better than my 360 and it's a lot faster to load.

If my PS3 gives me trouble I'm just gonna run a HDMI from my laptop to my tv.

finally got a roku so I can just leave the channel on all the time. I love it so far. The pic and sound is better than screen casting with my chromecast. Also, I can do other things with my comp with the tv on in the background.
Still use the Chromecast for Youtube, free hulu, downloaded videos and random flash players.

PS3 gave me nothing but trouble, using an Apple TV now and it gets the job done. Live works amazingly and haven't tried VOD in a while but even if I had issues, I could start it on my iPhone or iPad and then AirCast it to my Apple TV and continue with no issues.

I've only used my PS3/4 for it so far, but it works very well. Smooth, and I'm looking forward to using it this weekend!
haven't tried my 360 yet, and my phone worked pretty decently when I was out of town. But my Playstations are my "go-to" system for streaming.

I've had no problems with my PS3 or with my IPhone (when I'm at work  ) and I'm just on 3G there (no WiFi)! |

I only have used the Roku to stream. It has worked good so far. I especially enjoy the resume feature which I do not have on the IPad app.
The thing that is annoying me though is not all the content is available. I am still missing titles that are available on other devices in the old school section, legends of wrestling, beyond the ring and now the new ECW shows from 95 are not showing. It seems there are a few years listed in each of these categories but if content is added in a year that is not there it never shows up. I do know that if I search under Legends of Wrestling and Beyond the Ring it will show all titles but this feature is not available to search for missing content for the Old School section and the ECW hardcore tv shows.

Finally got the Network yesterday (self-congratulatory high-five). The Roku seems like it features an incomplete library. I've been using my laptop to watch stuff so far. I'm gonna give Roku a shot for Wrestlemania on the big-screen TV in my house.

For non-PC options so far it's been the PS3 for me.
To be honest I really haven't had too many problems on any devices but the ps3 seems to buffer the least.
For the ppv's I'm still gonna have the HDMI cable plugged into the tv with the laptop running it on mute just waiting to plug in in case that has a problem. Only reason I don't go that route full time is it screws up the living room traffic with cords when I go that route.

Apple TV has worked the best for me. Ps3 randomly kicks me off the network despite my Internet working just fine.

Through my PC with a HDMI cable.
Got the HDMI cable in my TV, then a VGA cable going to an old monitor so I can use the internet and watch TV at the same time on the same computer.
(If I want to browse the net whilst watching WWE network - which Im doing now I have to have the network in Internet Explorer and use Chrome to browse, if I do the network in chrome everytime I click something in the other window it goes off fullscreen)

Can't lose with Apple TV. If there's a problem with the native app just use airplane from phone or iPad.

Roku 3 and PS3.
Though it seems a bit more reliable on PS3 (and it could be because my PS3 has a hard wired connection as opposed to wifi for the Roku).
